> I get nothing with this command. Your programs will likely ignore the agent and use gpg directly using the password once without an environment variable. You should have the GPG_AGENT_INFO environment variable already setup as the third box in this link does. You can fix it quite easily but why it's not there already I'm not sure and is the real issue. http://www.gnupg.org/documentation/manuals/gnupg/Invoking-GPG_002dAGENT.html I presume you switched to openbox from something else which set this up automatically. -- ________________________________________________________ Why not do something good every day and install BOINC. ________________________________________________________
