Good catch!

You're right; I'll change this. When gnupg 2.1 has gained a wider user
base, the whole gpg policy could use an overhaul; gpg_secret_t is
currently a catch-all type which is also used for config files and the
like. If we relabel those, we could restrict access to gpg_secret_t
further; gpg itself does not need to access the private keys (all
private keys operation are handled by gpg-agent).

Agreed. I probably forgot to drop that when I added the filetrans for
the S.dirmngr socket.

sysnet_dns_name_resolve() is indeed redundant. sysnet_use_ldap() is
required, though, as auth_use_nsswitch() only grants this when the
authlogin_nsswitch_use_ldap boolean is set.

Thanks for your feedback!
