It only needs passphrase if you set a passphrase. For public key encryption it is perfectly fine not to set a passphrase because it is expected that there are no other users on that machine. If there would be other users on that machine it would be just to easy to snoop the passphrase despite the protections we have in place. IMHO, local exploits are too numerous to all get fixed. If you use a smartcard there is a hack in scdaemon which allows to work without a PIN. Shalom-Salam, Werner -- # Please read: Daniel Ellsberg - The Doomsday Machine # Die Gedanken sind frei.
