On this subject, you should also know that, if you can enter your passphrase on the system once each time the system starts up, you may find a combination of gpg-agent (from gnupg-2) and keychain (a Gentoo-originated script, http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/keychain/ , that auto-instantiates and auto-reuses ssh-agent and/or gpg-agent) to be useful. It's slightly more secure than writing your passphrase to your hard drive, and the measures required to get at your key are slightly more drastic. (Incidentally, this is probably not the forum to ask for help about keychain. :-) Good fortune PSM
