It's not that gpg-agent fails to export the data. It provides the information, but you are invoking in in a way that causes the information not to be saved.
If you invoke it during the boot process, you will have to find a way to get the information passed in the environment to all descendant processes. The system does not provide such a method, because gpg-agent is not really intended to be used that way. Most people invoke it either in their login shell, or in the process that starts the X Window System.
I dont care how it exports its values as long as it works. And now it doesnt!
It's doing exactly what it's supposed to. You're using it wrong.

So exactly DO i use it the right way? I havent found any clues when googling for it. All i know is that it "aint starting right". And that kgpg cries about it at startup. -- /Rikard " Sharing knowledge is the most fundamental act of friendship. Because it is a way you can give something without loosing something." -R.
