------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2003-04-09 20:29 ------- >From the last xinitrc CHRPM: -=-=-=- Frederic Lepied <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 2.4.4-76mdk - enable to source /etc/X11/xinit.d scripts if they contain the special comment "# to be sourced" (bug #2493) I guess this means that now we *can* just drop something in xinit.d. Notice it even references this bug. =) Okay, to summarize: In the short term, I guess the fix should be to just put a gpg-agent script in xinit.d -- this script should appropriately start (or not) gpg-agent and set the correct environment variables. This will fix this bug and also 1292. In the longer term, Buchan has recommended keychain as a way to do things better than ssh-agent and gpg-agent currently do. I don't know much about keychain at the moment, so I'll go research it some, as it sounds nice. I guess we probably ought to move discussion for a keychain-based solution to cooker or file a wishlist bug against the keychain package (for gpg-agent support). -- Configure bugmail: http://qa.mandrakesoft.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is. ------- Reminder: ------- assigned_to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] status: NEW creation_date: description: It would be great if gpg-agent could be automatically started at X start when people use kmail AEGYTEN crypto plugins. The attached patch and script I currently use could make it. The patch ensure that if the script is installed it is run in the current shell context (this is very important to get the GPG_AGENT_INFO env variable available on the desktop) The script kills all previous gpg-agent process for the user login in and starts a new one, exporting the correct env variable.
