           Summary: have ssh-agent and ssh-add also support gnupg
           Product: Portable OpenSSH
           Version: 3.5p1
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P2
         Component: ssh-agent
        AssignedTo: openssh-unix-dev at mindrot.org
        ReportedBy: hauser at acm.org


using gpg quite a bit, it would be great to also have its private key passwords
managed with ssh-agent!

Reason:
I am maintaining an contact list as an ascii file with one person per line.
I am encrypting it with gpg to protect it for the case my laptop gets stolen.
I often grep it to find a person "gpg --decrypt addr.gpg | grep $1" and it is
annoying to have to type the password all the time ==> there ssh-agent -t would
be useful!
Or is there a possibility to use openSSH to also perform the local file
encryption and let gnupg aside for this purpose altogether?
