I have gpg-encrypted backups made by amanda (gnutar). Decrypting was done by call gpg with --passphrase-fd option.
Recently I have to see some backup contensts and as usual I wrote: --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- sudo amrecover ... --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- but without success. Some investigation suggests that gpg-agent started as 'backup' user 1. completely ignores passphrase-fd/passphrase-file option. 2. cannot run pinentry (my guess is that tty is owned by user kjonca and pinentry should be as user backup) So my questions are: 1. is it possible to use passphrase-fd/passphrase-file options? 2. if not, how can I configure gpg/gpgagen/sudo/whatever in order to enter passphrase as sudo target user?
