the dialog should have asked you to protect your key in the GnuPG system - that is to enter a new passphrase. You have to give that passphrase. It is possible to change that passphrase but there is no direct command line interface for it. However, what you really want is something like ===== default-cache-ttl-ssh 7200 max-cache-ttl-ssh 86400 ===== in ~/.gnupg/gpg-agent.conf. This caches the passphrase for 2 hours if it is not used or even if used for not longer than a day. Salam-Shalom, Werner -- Die Gedanken sind frei.
