Hello all, I'm trying to setup automatic file decryption using a smartcard to store the private key.
Interactively, it all works fine, I get the PIN request, enter it, decryption works, all good. Non-interactively, however, I can't get it to work: gpg-agent always spawns a pinentry in the background, and gpg waits for it indefinitely, instead of using the PIN provided on the command line. Here's a short example: # eval $(gpg-agent --daemon) # echo 123456 | gpg --batch --passphrase-fd 0 --quiet --decrypt file.gpg ^C gpg: signal Interrupt caught ... exiting # ps -edf | grep pinentry root 26216 26035 0 11:33 ? 00:00:00 /usr/bin/pinentry-curses Running gpg-agent with --debug-level guru shows it starts scdaemon, finds the card, decides it needs the PIN and asks for it. If the PIN is entered once interactively, then the command above succeeds, because the card is unlocked (ie the command-line PIN is still ignored). It's on RHEL6 using the system's 2.0.14 version, and a Nitrokey Pro card. Thanks in advance for any help, Laurent _______________________________________________ Gnupg-users mailing list Gnupg-users@gnupg.org http://lists.gnupg.org/mailman/listinfo/gnupg-users
