How do I clear a cached GPG passphrase from gnome-keyring-daemon?
I searched around, and the best I could come up with was this:
$ pkill -HUP gnome-keyring-daemon
However, that had no effect whatsoever. It's still caching my
passphrase. I could kill the daemon entirely, and that certainly did
the trick, but I had to log out and back in to restart the daemon.
Here's a summary:
$ gpg -d msg.asc
(Gnome agent asks for passphrase the first time. Good.)
Hello there.
Meet at dawn.
$ gpg -d msg.asc
(This time it doesn't ask for my passphrase. Good!)
Hello there.
Meet at dawn.
# Now let's try deleting the cached passphrase:
$ pkill -HUP gnome-keyring-daemon
# See if it worked:
$ gpg -d msg.asc
(It did not ask for my passphrase. BAD Gnome, BAD!!!)
Hello there.
Meet at dawn.
