[Bug 506] New: have ssh-agent and ssh-add also support gnupg
http://bugzilla.mindrot.org/show_bug.cgi?id=506 Summary: have ssh-agent and ssh-add also support gnupg Product: Portable OpenSSH Version: 3.5p1 Platform: All OS/Version: All Status: NEW Severity: enhancement Priority: P2 Component: ssh-agent AssignedTo: openssh-unix-dev at mindrot.org ReportedBy: hauser at acm.org using gpg quite a bit, it would be great to also have its private key passwords managed with ssh-agent! Reason: I am maintaining an contact list as an ascii file with one person per line. I am encrypting it with gpg to protect it for the case my laptop gets stolen. I often grep it to find a person "gpg --decrypt addr.gpg | grep $1" and it is annoying to have to type the password all the time ==> there ssh-agent -t would be useful! Or is there a possibility to use openSSH to also perform the local file encryption and let gnupg aside for this purpose altogether? ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug, or are watching the assignee.
