I need to execute the program gpg-agent on login under Mac OS. On
execution, gpg-agent outputs a few commands which you need to execute to
set various environment variables, eg:
$gpg-agent --daemon --enable-ssh-support
GPG_AGENT_INFO=/tmp/gpg-8xrpgL/S.gpg-agent:1013:1; export GPG_AGENT_INFO;
SSH_AUTH_SOCK=/tmp/gpg-wFjfcv/S.gpg-agent.ssh; export SSH_AUTH_SOCK;
SSH_AGENT_PID=1013; export SSH_AGENT_PID;
I would normally take care of this with eval $(gpg-agent --daemon
--enable-ssh-support).
However, I would like gpg-agent to start on login as the logged in user
AND for these environment variables to be accessible to all programs -
particularly Thunderbird.app so that I can use gpg-agent in Thunderbird
without having to start the latter from the command line.
I have tried various solutions, including a login hook and adding the
output from gpg-agent to .profile, but none of my attempts write to the
environment such that the variables are accessible "globally".
I am not that familiar with Mac OS and on my Linux machine I would add
this to the X start up... I should be very grateful for any help!
Take care,
Ben
