Yes, although this usage is not recommended. --passphrase <string> --passphrase-file <filename> Please note that the former will make the passphrase available to anyone with enough privileges to read the process table, and the latter will leave your passphrase around in a file on the system which you're then responsible for securing somehow. You may want to simply remove the passphrase from the key, which may be a superior solution. At least then there's no false sense of security which might otherwise accompany either of --passphrase or --passphrase-file. _______________________________________________ Gnupg-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnupg.org/mailman/listinfo/gnupg-users
