You have two options; either make the gpg binary setuid root so it can do memory-locking (preferred), or have simply have gpg not print out the error message by putting the following line in your ~/.gnupg/options file: no-secmem-warning Note: this option is not documented in the 0.9.9 manpage. - -- Frank Tobin "To learn what is good and what is to be www.neverending.org/~ftobin valued, those truths which cannot be shaken or changed."
