Hi Ludo,

Yes, the file didn't exist. I created it and it works now.

I did install the pinentry package, though.

Do you think it would make sense to put this in the skeleton for new user accounts?

It wouldn't matter if it's were not installed then - then the user will get an error message and would install it (hopefully). But then it would work.
