------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2003-04-09 20:17 ------- This isn't the keychain solution Buchan mentioned, but if we add the script gpg-agent-exec to the newpg package (see the attachment on https://qa.mandrakesoft.com/show_bug.cgi?id=5259), this would allow the Xsession to be really simple: just add "gpg-agent-exec" to $AGENT (like ssh-agent is). This is a less-than perfect solution, since it does add an extra shell process that hangs around... but if bug 5259 gets fixed in gpg-agent itself, that would go away. I'm not familiar with keychain, so I'll have to look at that more before I can comment much about that. -- 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.
