Rob I'm not familiar with running gpg-agent. I've started with the man page. I don't see a process running.

RE: how to disable pinentry (Smith, Cathy) Hey Cathy, You need gpg-agent running with this setup. Per the error message, it can not connect to a running gpg-agent to enter the passphrase. Your gpg-agent.conf also needs to be with your other gpg configs under .gnupg. -Rob -----Original Message----- From: Smith, Cathy [mailto:cathy.sm...@pnnl.gov] Sent: Wednesday, February 25, 2015 3:21 PM To: Rob Fries; 'gnupg-users@gnupg.org' Subject: RE: 7. RE: how to disable pinentry (Smith, Cathy) Rob Thanks. I got an error when trying to do this. I created the gpg-agent.conf file in my home directory and added the directive: [cathy@foo ~]$ cat gpg-agent.conf allow-preset-passphrase [cathy@foo ~]$ [cathy@foo ~]$ /usr/libexec/gpg-preset-passphrase -cP"cry123" "4611 E023 7B7A 31FE 1388 0FAC 491E FBE6 302B 7D2D" gpg-preset-passphrase: can't connect to `/home/cathy/.gnupg/S.gpg-agent': No such file or directory gpg-preset-passphrase: caching passphrase failed: Input/output error Cathy --- Cathy L.

RE: how to disable pinentry (Smith, Cathy) 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!

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 --- Cathy L.
