-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: RIPEMD160 I run gpg-agent with the ssh option in my .xsession file so that all the child processes inherit the environment. This is needed mostly for the ssh portion of course, since I could update the gpg part of the agent stuff in .bashrc if I wanted to (although I do not do that now). This has been working well for me for a long time.
Today I mis-typed a passphrase for a symmetrically encrypted file and was surprised to discover that gpg-agent had stored the bad passphrase and would not let me access the file. I have occasionally in the past mistyped my passphrase for one of my secret keys or an ssh key and gpg-agent just reprompts for a valid one. Looking through the man page I don't see any way to flush the bad password from the agent. Killing and restarting works of course, but then I'm in bad shape on the ssh side. I could restart my window manager session, but that sounds like a microsoft solution, not to mention having to restart apps, etc. So is this a bug in the agent? Is there a way to flush passwords that I'm missing? Another solution?
