http://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=972787 Bug ID: 972787 Summary: [gpg-agent] Rework agent startup for DM sessions. Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE Tumbleweed Version: Current Hardware: All OS: openSUSE 42.1 Status: NEW Severity: Major Priority: P5 - None Component: Security Assignee: security-team@suse.de Reporter: eich@suse.com QA Contact: qa-bugs@suse.de CC: astieger@suse.com, meissner@suse.com, premysl.janouch@suse.com, werner@suse.com, xorg-maintainer-bugs@forge.provo.novell.com Found By: Development Blocker: --- The gpg-agent for a user session is started by the script /etc/X11/xdm/sys.xsession. An openSUSE user pointed out to me that the socket handling of the gpg-agent has changed with gpg 2.1 - now neither a env file is written (the option --write-env-file is ignored) nor nor does anything use the env variable GPG_AGENT_INFO. Instead today a standard socket is used in $HOME/.gnupg/S.gpg-agent. Also check: https://gnupg.org/faq/whats-new-in-2.1.html If NFS mounted homes are desired, it can be handled as described in: https://wiki.gnupg.org/NFS This requires reworking of the gpg-agent startup (and possibly also of the ssh-agent) in sys.xsession. Any takers? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
