gpg: WARNING: unsafe ownership on configuration file "/home/jason/.gnupg/gpg.conf"

[Jason Wallwork]

Received the warning message:
gpg: WARNING: unsafe ownership on configuration file 
"/home/jason/.gnupg/gpg.conf"

after running gpg --version as root. I don't get the warning if I run the same 
command as a regular user.

Here's the permissions on the file:

jason at starbuck:~> ls -l .gnupg/gpg.conf
-rw-------  1 jason users 8565 2005-03-17 12:43 .gnupg/gpg.conf

Should I be concerned? I can't find this in the FAQ. I hope it's not a case of 
not looking hard enough. :-/
