------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2003-04-09 19:24 ------- Have you guys looked at keychain at all? IMHO, keychain is a better solution than ssh-agent: 1)It works in console and X 2)It keeps an ssh-agent running 3)All login shells use the same ssh-agent 4)It will automatically load up your keys for you (if you have ever run it). Please take a look at the /etc/profile.d file supplied in the keychain package, as it might show you how you can achieve the same functionality with gpg-agent (although you will probably also need to fork keychain, or add support for gpg-agent to it). If you guys can sort out either: -adding gpg support to keychain -a similar package to keychain I will put it in contrib, and maybe even consider using kmail (if I can't get enigmail to make use of gpg-agent). -- Configure bugmail: http://qa.mandrakesoft.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is. ------- Reminder: ------- assigned_to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] status: NEW creation_date: description: It would be great if gpg-agent could be automatically started at X start when people use kmail AEGYTEN crypto plugins. The attached patch and script I currently use could make it. The patch ensure that if the script is installed it is run in the current shell context (this is very important to get the GPG_AGENT_INFO env variable available on the desktop) The script kills all previous gpg-agent process for the user login in and starts a new one, exporting the correct env variable.
