NAME
       applygnupgdefaults - Run gpgconf --apply-defaults for all users.

SYNOPSIS
       applygnupgdefaults

DESCRIPTION
       This  is a legacy script.  Modern application should use the per component global configuration files
       under β€˜/etc/gnupg/’.

       This script is a wrapper around gpgconf to run it with the  command  --apply-defaults  for  all	real
       users with an existing GnuPG home directory.  Admins might want to use this script to update he GnuPG
       configuration  files for all users after β€˜/etc/gnupg/gpgconf.conf’ has been changed.  This allows en‐
       forcing certain policies for all users.	Note, that this is not a bulletproof way to force a user  to
       use certain options.  A user may always directly edit the configuration files and bypass gpgconf.

       applygnupgdefaults is invoked by root as:

	 applygnupgdefaults
