So you're enforcing policy via disabling copy and paste? This is extremely shortsighted. Any password management program like Keepass makes transfer via the clipboard easy and relatively safe (clearing it after 10 seconds), so that doesn't sound like the safety of "no passphrase at all". -Dan _______________________________________________ Gnupg-users mailing list Gnupg-users@gnupg.org http://lists.gnupg.org/mailman/listinfo/gnupg-users
