I am a newbie to GnuPG, and am using gpg-agent so that I only need to enter my passphrase once. If I decrypt a file (which I encrypted to myself), I am of course asked to enter my passphrase. If I decrypt it a second time, gpg-agent supplies my passphrase from its cache. However, gpg2 still displays the passphrase prompt-message in the terminal:
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - $$ ll test* -rw-rw-r-- 1 todd todd 6 2007-11-20 15:14 test $$ cat test Test. $$ gpg2 -e test $$ ll test* -rw-rw-r-- 1 todd todd 6 2007-11-20 15:14 test -rw-rw-r-- 1 todd todd 599 2007-11-20 16:26 test.gpg $$ gpg2 -d test.gpg You need a passphrase to unlock the secret key for user: "Todd Hesla (General) <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>" 2048-bit ELG key, ID 1C0B50A0, created 2007-11-20 (main key ID 65A3115F) Test. $$ - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - How can I get rid of this prompt-message?
