adding passphrases to gpg-agent
Isn't there some way to do for gpg-agent what ssh-add does for ssh-agent? I'm trying to use a unique gpg-agent listening at a standard socket. Unless I'm missing something, the only way I have to provide passphrases to gpg-agent is to try some job (signing something, or whatever) and then give the passphrase when asked for it. But the pinentry-program entry in gpg-agent.conf decides whether I'm supposed to be in an X session or not. (BTW, pinentry-curses didn't work for me. But that's not the real issue.) Is there an alternative? -- Jorge Almeida ___ Gnupg-users mailing list Gnupg-users@gnupg.org http://lists.gnupg.org/mailman/listinfo/gnupg-users

If you want to preset a passphrase, you may do so using gpg-preset-passphrase - there is a man page for it.

OK, that seems to do the job (not much different from ssh-add, is it?), judging by the contents of http://www.gnupg.org/documentation/manuals/gnupg/gpg_002dpreset_002dpassphrase.html and http://www.gnupg.org/documentation/manuals/gnupg/Invoking-gpg_002dpreset_002dpassphrase.html#Invoking-gpg_002dpreset_002dpassphrase Now, my system doesn't have such command. I have gnupg 1.4.5 and 1.9.20. (OS is gentoo linux) Is gpg-preset-passphrase new to version 2.0.0? And what about gpgsm --dump-secret-keys, necessary to know the keygrip argument of gpg-preset-passphrase? This is what I get: $ gpgsm --dump-secret-keys gpgsm: NOTE: THIS IS A DEVELOPMENT VERSION! gpgsm: It is only intended for test purposes and should NOT be gpgsm: used in a production environment or with production keys! Did I misunderstood something, or is it just that I'm using a package not recent enough?

GnuPG 2.0.1rc1 released
Hi, I did a release candidate for GnuPG 2.0.1. It fixes the problems on AMD64 as well as on 64 bit platforms. There are also some other build fixes. ftp://ftp.gnupg.org/gcrypt/alpha/gnupg/gnupg-2.0.1rc1.tar.bz2 ftp://ftp.gnupg.org/gcrypt/alpha/gnupg/gnupg-2.0.1rc1.tar.bz2.sig You should also get an updated libassuan version: ftp://ftp.gnupg.org/gcrypt/libassuan/libassuan-1.0.1.tar.bz2 ftp://ftp.gnupg.org/gcrypt/libassuan/libassuan-1.0.1.tar.bz2.sig Noteworthy changes in GnuPG: * Experimental support for the PIN pads of the SPR 532 and the Kaan Advanced card readers. Add disable-keypad scdaemon.conf if you don't want it. Does currently only work for the OpenPGP card and the authentication and decrypt keys. * Fixed build problems on some some platforms and crashes on amd64. Noteworthy changes in libassuan 1.0.1: * New function: assuan_set_io_monitor. * New function: assuan_register_post_cmd_notify. * Fixed a memory leak.

Problems to import and export private keys using GnuPG v2.
Hi guys, I have just installed FC6 with GnuPG v2 and am now having problems to import my previous private keys, funnily the same problems happens if I try to export the key that I generated using gpg2. When I try to import the key I get a message saying that importing secret keys not allowed - see below. The same happens if I try to export a private key. $ gpg --import private.pgp gpg: importing secret keys not allowed gpg: Total number processed: 1 gpg: secret keys read: 1 I think I must be missing something very small as importing and exporting keys should be trivial. Would anyone know the solution for this? Thanks a lot, Vini ___ Gnupg-users mailing list Gnupg-users@gnupg.org http://lists.gnupg.org/mailman/listinfo/gnupg-users

gpg: importing secret keys not allowed
#ifdef ENABLE_SELINUX_HACKS

So you used
--enable-selinux-support
This prevents access to certain files and won't
allow import or export of secret keys.
with configure. You need to build a second binary without that flag
and use that binary to import stuff.
