FWIW; Found this after rummaging through whatever 'locate gnupg' turned up on my default Sarge install.... /usr/share/doc/gnupg2/changelog.Debian.gz ===================================================================== gnupg2 (1.9.15-6) unstable; urgency=high * Move gpg-protect-tool to the gpgsm package. Closes: #303492. High urgency because this renders gpgsm unuseable for some people. * gpg-agent: Override max-cache-ttl if a higher default is set. Closes: #302692. -- Matthias Urlichs <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Thu, 7 Apr 2005 10:13:19 +0200 [...] ===================================================================== On the web I found this; -------------------------------------------------------------------- Bug#302692: gnupg-agent: Don't use (undocumented) max-cache-ttl switch Package: gnupg-agent Version: 1.9.15-5 Severity: normal Hi! If one wants to set default-cache-ttl to a large value, e.g. one day the line "default-cache-ttl 86400" in ~/.gnupg/gpg-agent.conf alone doesn't do the trick, but one also must add "max-cache-ttl 86400". This later parameter is undocumented and confusing and should be removed, i.e. one should be able to set large values directly by just default-cache-ttl. Thanks!
