[gentoo-user] gpg

[gentoo-user] gpg

[John Dangler]

I setup gpg and also set up enigmail to use my key and signature.
when I send an email message I get the following:
Error - bad passphrase
/usr/bin/gpg -charset utf8 -batch -no-tty -status-fd 2 -clearsign
-digest-algo sha1 -u jdangler@atlantic.net -passphrase-fd 0 -no-use-agent

gpg: skipped "<jdangler@atlantic.net>": bad passphrase

gpg: [stdin]: clearsign failed: bad passphrase

any input, as always, is greatly appreciated.

Ok. I found out that I have gpg setup right.  I also know that if I enable
passphrases for sending mail, and don't use the gpg agent in enigmail, mail
works great!

However, the docs for enigmail also say that you can set "no passphrase for
this user" and set "use gpg agent for passphrase management", but that
borks.

Anyone tried this successfully?

As an OT question, I saw where you can upload your keys to a keyserver.  Is
that the preferred method of validating/trusting others ?
