Incorrect permissions on launchagent plist
Reported by Benjamin Donnachie | January 29th, 2011 @ 01:54 PM | in 2.0.18 (closed)
Following another remote support session, I have ascertained that incorrect permissions on the launchd plist are causing gpg-agent to fail to load under launchd control:
$sudo launchctl load -S background /Library/LaunchAgents/org.gpgtools.macgpg2.gpg-agent.plist
launchctl: Dubious permissions on file (skipping): /Library/LaunchAgents/org.gpgtools.macgpg2.gpg-agent.plist
nothing found to load
$ ls -lsa /Library/LaunchAgents/org.gpgtools.macgpg2.gpg-agent.plist
8 -rw-rw-r-- 1 root wheel 624 21 Jan 16:39 /Library/LaunchAgents/org.gpgtools.macgpg2.gpg-agent.plist
This causes problems with GUI based utilities that are not designed for the new standard sockets behaviour; in particular Enigmail which then launches multiple copies of gpg-agent.
A workaround is:
sudo chmod g-w /Library/LaunchAgents/org.gpgtools.macgpg2.gpg-agent.plist
Then reboot.
This will be addressed in a point release shortly.

Just fyi: using the GPGTools installer the plist file has correct permissions. So no need to publish an update in this context.
