-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I'm confused as to how to increase the time my passphrase is cached. In openPGP/Preferences/Basic I have entered a value of 360 minutes, but when I click OK, I see the following message:
"Your system uses gpg-agent or a similar tool for passphrase handling (gpg-agent is mandatory if GnuPG v2.0 or later is used). Since caching of passphrases is handled by gpg-agent, the respective timeout settings in OpenPGP are disregarded. In order to change passphrase caching options, please configure your gpg-agent tool." I therefore appended the following to the file ~/.gnupg/gpg-agent.conf default-cache-ttl 21600 The manpage suggests gpg-agent uses seconds rather than minutes, hence 21600 seconds = 6 hours. It also says to remove the leading -- from any options that are added to this file. However, I still get asked for my passphrase everytime I write a signed or encrypted message. What have I missed? You can see I'm a relative newbie to Enigmail and GPG.
