I do... when, if ever, I get time now. For others, they did too. One of them proposed a patch for pinentry and posted the proposal on the web. ... not sure if they sent it to the mailing list though. > One solution, create a symbolic link in your home directory to > whatever pinentry you want to use at a particular time, and point your > gpg-agent config to that, eg in ~/.gnupg/gpg-agent - pinentry-program > /home/gpguser/.gnupg/use-this-pinentry > > So when X starts have your link, say ~/.gnupg/use-this-pinentry point > to the X one, when you start a shell, modify the link for > ~/.gpg-agent/use-this-pinentry to the curses one - easy enough to > achieve with the bash login/out scripts. Quick & dirty hack compared to one that is hard coded with if/then. Besides, I don't use gpg-agent. I got prompted one too many times for my pin and/or something broke too. Seemed more of a hassle at the current time, so I recompiled everything on my Gentoo box here to not use gpg-agent. Besides, I'm the only one using this computer/network and thought it was overkill. > Alternatively, modify the code for gpg-agent to achieve what you want > and submit to Werner for evaluation. -- Roger http://rogerx.freeshell.org _______________________________________________ Gnupg-users mailing list Gnupg-users@gnupg.org http://lists.gnupg.org/mailman/listinfo/gnupg-users
