You cannot make a machine which needs a secret run fully unattended without having such secret *somewhere*. You can move pieces around, separate roles amongst different parts, protect a secret in a way that a _different_ secret is needed instead, etc. But in the end, as the machine needs that secret, you need to store it there. Or, alternatively, have a human input it and have it stored in memory, with the caveat that the machine won't be able to boot to a fully functional state until that is provided. _______________________________________________ Gnupg-users mailing list Gnupg-users@gnupg.org http://lists.gnupg.org/mailman/listinfo/gnupg-users
