Rich, Thank you, I will give that a shot. FYI I discovered: declare -x GPG_AGENT_INFO="/tmp/gpg-2uVMfE/S.gpg-agent:26095:1" When I unset this env variable, ssh stopped trying to use pinentry to acquire my passphrase. However, I still do not understand how that variable got set or how/why ssh behaves differently when it is set. Chris
