Hello Anthony,

In your .gnupg directory you want to edit the file (or create one) gpg-agent.conf and add
the lines
default-cache-ttl 9000
default-cache-ttl-ssh 1800

You can install the programme GPA and it will under preferences edit it for you. If I recall
Ubuntu does not have it so go to ftp://ftp.gnupg.org/gcrypt/gpa// download gpa - you have to
./configure - make - make install. Also make sure gpg-agent's running.

David
