Re: Running gpg-agent and caching the passphrase

I don't know if this is the right place to ask but the same setup was running on my linux box without problems so I guess this might be bsd related. Have you considered to use (security/)keychain? It's very handy for the purpose. It's invoked by putting something like: eval `keychain --eval id_rsa your_gpg_key` in e.g. your .zshrc.
