[10:33] <sakrecoer> OvenWerks: how do you use the keys without it? ssh-add seem to be dependent on it. anytime i call a key, gpg-agent pops up. if i skip the password thing, it stores the private key encrypted by gpg-agent in ~/.gnupg/ without a password...
[10:35] <sakrecoer> hmm.... but perhaps, i'm responsible for gpg-agent being present on my system in the first place. I did install thunderbird and enigmail in my ubuntustudio on my own behalf...
[13:02] <OvenWerks> sakrecoer: I used this method: http://packaging.ubuntu.com/html/getting-set-up.html
[13:02] <OvenWerks> sakrecoer: gpg --gen-key
[13:02] <OvenWerks> ssh-keygen -t rsa
[13:03] <OvenWerks> just enough to get the keys made.
[13:13] <sakrecoer> thanks OvenWerks, i don't have any difficulties creating keys, i encountered problems using them, as they would get stored in my system by gpg-agent without my understanding. The worrying thing (to me) was that they would remain in use, even after deletion of ~/.ssh/*
[13:14] <OvenWerks> I don't seem to have gpg-adent on my system.
[13:16] <OvenWerks> sakrecoer: in your settings manager under session and stratup in the Application Autostart tab, it is possible to uncheck gpg-agent so it doesn't run all the time.
[13:20] <sakrecoer> it is unckeched.... so is gnome-keyrin-deamon... yet ps aux show them both.. apt-cache rdepends gpg-agent gives me nothing... i wonder where i got it from...
[13:27]  * OvenWerks is off to work...
[13:27] <sakrecoer> OvenWerks: have a great day! thanks for yhe suggestions! :)
