(main): Handle the new option. * doc/gpg-agent.texi: Document the new option. -- OpenSSH has transitioned from using MD5 to compute key fingerprints to SHA256. This patch makes the digest used when communicating key fingerprints to the user (e.g. in pinentry dialogs) configurable. For now this patch conservatively defaults to MD5.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | * agent/gpg-agent.c (get_socket_path): New function for POSIX systems to return the path for a provided unix-domain socket. (map_supervised_sockets): New function to inspect $LISTEN_FDS and $LISTEN_FDNAMES and map them to the specific functionality offered by the agent. (main): Add --supervised command. When used, listen on already-open file descriptors instead of opening our own. * doc/gpg-agent.texi: Document --supervised option. -- "gpg-agent --supervised" is a way to invoke gpg-agent such that a system supervisor like systemd can provide socket-activated startup, log management, and scheduled shutdown. When running in this mode, gpg-agent: * Does not open its own listening socket; rather, it expects to be given a listening socket on incoming file descriptors. * Does not detach from the invoking process, staying in the foreground instead. Unless otherwise specified, logs are sent to stderr. Signed-off-by: Daniel Kahn Gillmor <[email protected]>

Note that in all cases, the user has to do some additional configuration to her setup to make use of these features. Therefore, this should not break any existing setups, but makes it simpler to discover and use these features. Signed-off-by: Justus Winter <[email protected]>

(main): Replace allow-loopback-pinentry by no-allow-loopback-pinentry in the gpgconf list. * tools/gpgconf-comp.c (gc_options_gpg_agent): Ditto. -- Given that a user can anyway change that options in the gpg-agent.conf file and that gpg needs to be invoked with --pinentry-mode=loopback the former default does not make much sense - in that option is useful at all. There was a discussion of this topic on gnupg-devel in April without a clear result. So we try this new default and just in case real problems are found for the majority of installations, we can revert that. The new default is also aligned with GnuPG's policy to make its use easier and only require users with very high security standards to tweak certain options (those users have anyway modeled their threat model and configured their software according to this).
