Hi.
I'm trying to get pinentry-curses (0.7.2_6) to work with gpg and
gpg-agent (v2.0.4). Both installed via /usr/ports on
FreeBSD-RELEASE, default Makefile options. But it is not
working.
When I enter my passphrase in the pinentry-curses dialog, the
response is:
----------------------------------------------------------------
gpg: problem with the agent: IPC write error
gpg: Invalid passphrase; please try again ...
You need a passphrase to unlock the secret key for
user: "<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>"
4096-bit ELG key, ID AEXXXXXX, created 2005-11-25 (main key ID
0BA2643B)
gpg: problem with the agent: IPC write error
gpg: encrypted with 4096-bit ELG key, ID AEXXXXXX, created
2005-11-25
"<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>"
gpg: public key decryption failed: General error
gpg: decryption failed: No secret key
----------------------------------------------------------------
Pinentry is indeed linked to pinentry-curses, my
~/.gnupg/gpg-agent.conf is setup correctly, and I'm using
`use-agent' directive in ~/.gnupg/gpg.conf:
----------------------------------------------------------------
~> pwd
/usr/local/bin
~> ll pinentry
[...] pinentry@ -> pinentry-curses
~> cat ~/.gnupg/gpg-agent.conf
default-cache-ttl 3600
pinentry-program /usr/local/bin/pinentry
debug-level guru
debug-all
~> grep use-agent ~/.gnupg/gpg.conf
use-agent
----------------------------------------------------------------
I know I have the correct passphrase because when I use a
different pinentry, it works just fine:
----------------------------------------------------------------
~> pwd
/usr/local/bin
~> ll pinentry
[...] pinentry@ -> pinentry-gtk
~> gpg -v sample.txt.gpg
[... gtk dialog comes up and I enter passphrase, hit OK ...]
gpg: public key is AEXXXXXX
gpg: using subkey AEXXXXXX instead of primary key 0BA2643B

----------------------------------------------------------------
And yes, I do remember to kill -HUP gpg-agent when needed.
I initiate gpg-agent from my ~/.zshrc:
----------------------------------------------------------------
[...]
# {{{ gpg-agent automation
if [[ -f $HOME/.gpg-agent-info ]] &&
kill -0 `cut -d: -f 2 $HOME/.gpg-agent-info` 2>/dev/null;
then
echo 'GPG-AGENT CURRENTLY RUNNING, UPDATING ENV...'
GPG_AGENT_INFO=`cat $HOME/.gpg-agent-info`
export GPG_AGENT_INFO
echo 'GPG-AGENT ENV REFRESHED.'
else
echo '...STARTING GPG-AGENT'
eval `/usr/local/bin/gpg-agent --daemon`
echo $GPG_AGENT_INFO >$HOME/.gpg-agent-info
echo 'GPG-AGENT READY.'
fi
# }}}
[...]
~> /bin/ps x | grep gpg-agent
89498 ?? Ss 0:00.36 /usr/local/bin/gpg-agent --daemon
~> sockstat | grep gpg-agent
adam gpg-agent 89498 6 stream /tmp/gpg-GqplAN/S.gpg-agent
----------------------------------------------------------------
And I believe my ENV is correct:
----------------------------------------------------------------
~> cat /tmp/gpg-GqplAN/S.gpg-agent
OK Pleased to meet you
~> env | grep GPG
GPG_AGENT_INFO=/tmp/gpg-GqplAN/S.gpg-agent:89498:1
GPG_TTY=/dev/ttypm
~> tty
/dev/ttypm
----------------------------------------------------------------
Any help would be greatly appreciated. :) I haven't had much
luck googling around. I do not want to use a graphical-based
pinentry because I'm running xterm only over ssh session and I'm
not interested in X forwarding.
Thanks!
