Creating a quickly expiring signature
I wanted to test behavior of an application with an expired signature, but using `--ask-sig-expire` don't seem to be granular enough. The minimum I can specify is either 1 day, or an absolute date (e.g. 2011-07-29), which is still 8+ hours away for me right now. Am I missing something? Decimal values are not accepted, nor seconds, minutes, or hours. -Dan ___ Gnupg-users mailing list Gnupg-users@gnupg.org http://lists.gnupg.org/mailman/listinfo/gnupg-users

Set your system clock back a year, create a sig that expires in a year, reset your system to the normal time. The simplest solution is usually best. ___ Gnupg-users mailing list Gnupg-users@gnupg.org http://lists.gnupg.org/mailman/listinfo/gnupg-users

Now why isn't this documented anywhere to be found? What other secret helpful options does gpg not advertise? @Robert: while I appreciate your suggestion, I do not find setting my system clock (controlled by NTP) to an invalid time to be even remarkably a valid solution to this problem, especially if I am writing an automated test suite that generates signatures and keys, for example... -Dan ___ Gnupg-users mailing list Gnupg-users@gnupg.org http://lists.gnupg.org/mailman/listinfo/gnupg-users
