FreeEagle Posted May 10, 2005 Report Share Posted May 10, 2005 Hi all, i was reading today on the official site of Mandriva and then went to Errata, and saw this : ssh-agent does not start automatically in KDE * Install Gnupg2 and after all will work well How to mail with correct encryption using KMail * Install Gnupg2 and after all will work well should i do this? Do i need it? does this will make my System more secure? Greetings, FreeEagle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adamw Posted May 10, 2005 Report Share Posted May 10, 2005 Neither of those things makes your system more secure, no. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jlc Posted May 17, 2005 Report Share Posted May 17, 2005 ssh-agent is just a graphical front end afaik. GnuPG2 is actually a 1.9.x version, so it would be considered a beta"ish :P That will keep your e-mail more "secure" if you encrypt it, not your system.

adamw Posted May 18, 2005 Report Share Posted May 18, 2005 ssh-agent isn't exactly a graphical frontend, it's an ssh 'keyring'; if you type 'ssh-add' at a console it will ask for your ssh key passphrase then store it for the remainder of your session so you don't have to enter it every time you ssh somewhere.
