--homedir

[David Gray]

Hello John, 

Thanks for that.  There's no mention of that logical name in the VMS help
file but I'll give it a try.  

The reason for one shared key ring is that the encrypt/decrypt job will
normally be run under the overnight batch account but in the event of a
failure support staff need to re-run jobs under their own accounts.  The key
ring should be the same for all. 

Yeah I know, there are a lot of VMS Privs to remember.  All the accounts
that use this process are system type accounts.

Cheers
	Dave.

Well, not sure of the implementation on VMS, but try setting GNUPGHOME

DEFINE/SYS GNUPGHOME TD1:[<user>.GNUPG]

Of course, You'll need sysprv in order to do that

Is there a good reason for wanting ALL users to use the same keyrings?
