3 # seckey2sshagent: this is a hack of a script to cope with the fact
4 # that openpgp2ssh currently cannot support encrypted secret keys.
6 # the basic operating principal is:
8 # export the secret key in encrypted format to a new keyring
10 # remove the passphrase in that keyring
12 # use that keyring with openpgp2ssh

20 Usage: $0 [GPGID [FILE]]
22 The basic strategy of seckey2sshagent is to dump your OpenPGP
23 authentication key(s) into your agent or a file. With no arguments,
24 it will add all secret keys in your keyring to the agent. With one
25 argument, it adds only the specified key to the agent. With two
26 arguments, it dumps the specified key to FILE, with the pub key in
29 This script is a gross hack at the moment. It is done by creating a
30 new, temporary private keyring, letting the user remove the
31 passphrases from the keys, and then exporting them. The temporary
32 private keyring is purged from the system.
34 When you use this command, you'll find yourself dropped into a GPG
35 'edit-key' dialog relevant *only* to the temporary private keyring.
37 At that point, you should clear the password from your key, with:
40 <enter your current password>
42 followed by the empty string for the new password. GPG will ask you
43 if you're really sure. Answer yes, because this is only relevant to
44 the temporary keyring. Then, do:
48 At this point, your key will be added to your running ssh-agent with
49 the alias 'monkeysphere-key' and seckey2sshagent should terminate.
