Need some help with permissions and ownership when running cgi script as user

[Samuel ]slund]

Hi

Did you solve it?

I think you are looking for the --lock-never switch from the man page.
(There should not be any trouble with concurrent access if the files are
writeprotected)
You might also want/need to look for some other switch to tell GPG not to
update the trust DB.

I will not comment about security since (in this case) I'm just a dumb
user who can read manpages.
