[CentOS] help with gpg
Under Centos 5 I ran this command: gpg --passphrase-file /home/myuser/pass_phrase.txt -c ../Versions/program.x86_64.tgz and this worked fine. On CentOS 6 running the same command prompts me for the passphrase. Thats exactly what I dont want to have happen. I have the pass phrase I want in the file. After some searching it says I need to start the daemon like "gpg-agent --daemon" take the output: GPG_AGENT_INFO=/tmp/gpg-x4WH7K/S.gpg-agent:19156:1; export GPG_AGENT_INFO; and use it - which I did. Then when I run my command above I still get prompted for the pass phrase. What am I not doing correct? I just want a simple phrase on a file that someone has to know before they can extract it. Nothing special going on Thanks, Jerry ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

I was thinking "too hard" and thought it was something with the gpg-agent. Thanks Jerry ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

I also meant to mention from what I can tell in CentOS6 gpg is really gpg2. Notice that "/usr/bin/gpg" is really "/usr/bin/gpg -> gpg2". I mention this because in various places as I searched I noticed phrases like "This is different from gpg". What? Now I understand, I'm now using gpg2 and never knew it... ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
