Why can't gpg-agent implement the same protocol that ssh-agent does under Windows? The ssh-agent under Cygwin appears to work in the same way it does on GNU/Linux, i.e., the ssh process looks for the environment variables that ssh-agent prints when started. /Simon _______________________________________________ Gnupg-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnupg.org/mailman/listinfo/gnupg-users
