https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=349738 Summary: evaluate use of gpg-agent with ssh support instead of ssh-agent Product: openSUSE 11.0 Version: unspecified Platform: All OS/Version: openSUSE 11.0 Status: NEW Severity: Enhancement Priority: P5 - None Component: Security AssignedTo: security-team@suse.de ReportedBy: wolfgang@rosenauer.org QAContact: qa@suse.de Found By: --- Since gpg2 (and therefore gpg-agent) is quite usable now I think it's time to think about replacing ssh-agent with gpg-agent. Currently we start gpg-agent and ssh-agent in X sessions automatically but gpg-agent should be able to replace ssh-agent in a transparent way. The only thing I noticed while testing that is that gpg-agent wants to have another passphrase for every SSH identity to encrypt it in it's session (and temporary file store). So when ssh-add is executed it asks for the key passphrase and for another temporary storage password in the gpg-agent. But if that replacement would be possible we would get rid of one agent.
