Hi, i'm trying to set up a little home server to, among other things, download my mails via POP from various mail servers. I'm using mpop [0] for this, which can read user's POP passwords either in plain text from the configuration file, (which i don't like) or using a nice eval command. My idea was to use pass as password manager, so i don't have to store passwords in plain text. I'd set gpg-agent ttl variables to a very high value to prevent expiration, feed the master password for the key encrypting the password-store once, manually at server startup, and then let everything happen in the background with mpop using eval on "pass show". The first problem i had to face was cron not using environment variable for the password store path, which i solved explicitly specifying it in crontab, but this is more a general unix issue. The second problem, the one which pushed me to ask for help here, is that being used in background, gpg complains about not being able to write on tty. So i tried putting "--no-tty" in the PGP_OPTS variable inside pass, but fairly enough now mpop says it doesn't receive any output from the eval...
Can anyone imagine a way to workaround this issue? Did anyone ever use pass in a similar situation? Thanks. [0] http://mpop.sourceforge.net/ _______________________________________________ Password-Store mailing list [email protected] http://lists.zx2c4.com/mailman/listinfo/password-store
