That wasn't my experience. I used keys with no passphrase, and *still* had to use loopback (and jump through other hoops) to get gpg to work unattended. https://lists.gnupg.org/pipermail/gnupg-users/2017-April/058158.html https://lists.gnupg.org/pipermail/gnupg-users/2017-April/058162.html describe my travails. It was several days of learning curve. In fairness, I needed a solution that worked with all versions of gpg that shipped with any LTS version of ubuntu, not just the current release, which made things a bit harder. - Dan _______________________________________________ Gnupg-users mailing list Gnupg-users@gnupg.org http://lists.gnupg.org/mailman/listinfo/gnupg-users
