Hi,
I'm trying to get gpg-agent running under 8.2 using the same setup I've
had on my linux box.
The agent is started via .xinitrc:
export GPG_TTY=3D$(tty)
if [ -z `pgrep gpg-agent` ]; then
eval $(gpg-agent --daemon --write-env-file "${HOME}/.gpg-agent-info" \
--log-file "${HOME}/.gnupg/gpg-agent.log")
fi
The agent is up and running (checked via ps) and the option "use-agent"
is set in gpg.conf. As pinentry I installed pinentry-gtk2.
If I try to sign or decrypt something the pinentry window comes up and
asks for my passphrase. So far so good but I want it to cache my
passphrase for some time.
My ~/.gnupg/gpg-agent.conf:
default-cache-ttl =3D 3600
But no matter what option I set the passphrase is not cached and there
is no error message in the logs.
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.
Regards,
Jens
P.S.: I use ssh-agent also and it works without problems. While using
gpg-agent with the ssh option ask for the passphrase every time the key
is used.
