I suggest to lauch gpg-agent on the fly: Add use-standard-socket to ~/.gnupg/gpg-agent.conf and remove all settings of GPG_AGENT_INFO. I use this in my ~/.bashrc : --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- # If running interactively, then: if [ "$PS1" ]; then # Setup information required by GnuPG and ssh. We use the standard # socket in GnuPG's homedir, thus there is no need for an # environment variable. We reset any left over envvar. # SSH_AGENT_PID should not be set either because it is only used to # kill ssh-agent (option -k) but we don't want this to kill # gpg-agent. Because ssh does not know about GnuPG's homedir we # need to set its envvar to gpg-agent's ssh socket. GPG_TTY needs # to be set to the current TTY. The extra test is used to avoid # setting SSH_AUTH_SOCK if gpg-agent has been started with the # shell on the command line (often used for testing). unset GPG_AGENT_INFO unset SSH_AGENT_PID if [ "${gnupg_SSH_AUTH_SOCK_by:-0}" -ne $$ ]; then export SSH_AUTH_SOCK="${HOME}/.gnupg/S.gpg-agent.ssh" fi fi export GPG_TTY=$(tty) --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- If you want to use gpg-agent's ssh-agent implementaion, you need to make sure that gpg-agent is started (becuase ssh does not know how to start gpg-agent). You may do this with "gpg-connect-agent /bye" This works since 2.0.16 released 4 years ago. Recent veNote that if you have ~/.gnupg on some remote file system, this may not work.
