Hi Cathy,
We use /usr/libexec/gpg-preset-passphrase to set our passphrase.
/usr/libexec/gpg-preset-passphrase -cP "$passphrase" $keygrip
You would need to add this to your .gpg-agent.conf:
allow-preset-passphrase
you will need to get the KEYGRIP. The easiest way I found is:
gpg2 --fingerprint --fingerprint --list-secret-keys | grep "fingerprint" | cut
-d= -f2 | tr -d ' '
make sure you get the correct one for the correct key( note the above command
shows double the number of keygrips for what you need.. ).
and you may want to adjust your max-cache-ttl gpg-agent.conf too. If you want
to forget a passphrase before the ttl is up, you can use gpg-preset-passphrase
to forget it.
Rel6 does provide a pinentry-curses program:
/usr/bin/pinentry-curses
Hope that helps!

Adding this line didn't work:
pinentry-program /usr/bin/pinentry-tty
The message was invalid option
gpg: /home/foo/.gunpg/gpg.conf:242: invalid option
The CentOS6 and RHEL6 distributions don't provide a /usr/bin/pinentry-tty.
One of my goals of this is to be able to set a passphrase on a key in batch
processing. Perhaps, there is another way to accomplish that?
Thank you
Cathy
