Don't blame yourself for the negligence of people who don't bother to write proper manpages. .SH ENVIRONMENT The following environment variables affect the execution of .BR quintuple\-agent : .TP DISPLAY If set, the X server running at the value of this variable is contacted, and an X client spawned to prompt the user for the passphrase.
