Hello, I am trying to figure out an issue I'm having with gpg-agent. I have set up gpg and gpg-agent according to the guides here:
http://www.madboa.com/geek/gpg-quickstart/ (for gpg) and here: http://www.debian-administration.org/articles/378 (for gpg-agent) I am running Debian sarge, and using all standard debian packages. The issue is that after I start gpg-agent for one user, it does not work for any other user on my machine. For example, after I do an initial decrypt call with: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~ $ gpg -o clear.txt -d encrypted.txt.asc which works fine, i.e. the pinentry-curses program asks me for my passphrase the first time and gpg-agent uses the cached passphrase on subsequent decrypt calls, then when I switch to a different user on my machine and try to do the same thing gpg-agent doesn't prompt me for my passphrase on the initial attempt and instead gives me this message: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/test$ eval "$(gpg-agent --daemon)" [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/test$ gpg -o clear.txt -d test.txt.asc You need a passphrase to unlock the secret key for user: "Dylan2 Vaughn <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>" 2048-bit ELG-E key, ID 34FC7CBC, created 2006-08-19 (main key ID 71D43350) gpg: cancelled by user gpg: encrypted with 2048-bit ELG-E key, ID 34FC7CBC, created 2006-08-19 "Dylan2 Vaughn <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>" gpg: public key decryption failed: bad passphrase gpg: decryption failed: secret key not available However, I can do the normal encrypt / decrypt stuff with the root user after doing it the first time with my 'dylan' user. Also, if I initially log into the 'dylan2' user account after rebooting, I can do the encrypt / decrypt with that user but then not any others (except root). What am I doing wrong? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Dylan -- Dylan Vaughn -- CEO Vaughn Works, Inc.
