[10:33] 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] 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] sakrecoer: I used this method: http://packaging.ubuntu.com/html/getting-set-up.html [13:02] sakrecoer: gpg --gen-key [13:02] ssh-keygen -t rsa [13:03] just enough to get the keys made. [13:13] 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] I don't seem to have gpg-adent on my system. [13:16] 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] 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] OvenWerks: have a great day! thanks for yhe suggestions! :) === sakrecoer is now known as sakrecoer_
