I wonder if you're not talking about 2 different things..... First, when it comes to gpg-agent, I believe the cache time for the passphrase is determined by --default-cache-ttl which defaults to 600 seconds. This can be changed on a per-user basis in the ~/.gnupg/gpg-agent.conf file. Then, when it comes to kwallet, it can be configured to "Close Wallet" based on 3 criteria. I have mine simply set to "Close when last application stops using it" and I never get prompted again during a login session. -- If you can't laugh at yourself, others will gladly oblige. -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
