Hello,

i have a problem with my access rules on my ~/.gnupg folder. The reason
is that i can't sign any e-mails .

the warning message was that the access rules to the folder are too
open

but which rights are correct?

i have looked in the folder and my rights looks like this

drwxr-xr-x  3 joerg users 4,0K 12. Okt 12:57 .
drwx------ 29 joerg users 4,0K 11. Okt 18:48 ..
drwx------  2 joerg users 4,0K  9. Okt 21:13 private-keys-v1.d
-rw-r--r--  1 joerg users 2,5K  9. Okt 21:13 pubring.kbx
-rw-------  1 joerg users   32  9. Okt 21:13 pubring.kbx~
-rw-r--r--  1 joerg users    7 10. Okt 19:41 reader_0.status
-rw-------  1 joerg users 1,3K  9. Okt 21:13 trustdb.gpg

is this correct for gpg / Kleopatra?
the translated output was

Detailed error message: Output from gpg2:
gpg: WARNING: Insecure access rights of the home directory
`/home/joerg/.gnupg '
gpg: write after '-'
gpg: pinentry launched (5745 curses 1.1.0 - -: 0)

Many thanks for helpers
