You should read the man page, and learn about inactivity timeouts for
gpg-agent. Also, you can wipe the agent altogether quite easily.
Your concern about people gaining access to the console is well founded,
but there are better solutions alread
Hi Doug.
I am aware of the ability to set inactivity timeouts and to clear the

agent. And I still believe I can use this feature.
What I have noticed about myself is that I will walk away from my keyboard
without locking the screen. I just forget to do it. I have been trying to
