[Duplicity-talk] a question on duplicity and gpg

[Giuliano Franchetti]

Hello to all, 

after installing duplicity I find a new behaviour of gpg. 

I have in my computer several files that I have gpg-encrypted and for accessing them 

I had to give a passphrase. 

After installing duplicity suddenly to access the files gpg encrypted it is not 

necessary a passphrase anymore. It seems that duplicity activate a gpg-agent that 

read the passphrase to automatize duplicity. At the moment I use duplicity with 

symmetric encryption because I save a backup in a disk in my home. 

This behaviour of gpg  makes all the files I had unsafe as anybody entering in my computer 

can open any gpg encrypted file. Is it possible to use duplicity, but not having this effect?

Thanks 

Giuliano
