The man pages gives hints on how to avoid starting several instances of gpg-agent. You should start it in your ~/.xsession script: gpg-agent --daemon --enable-ssh-support \ --write-env-file "$@{HOME@}/.gpg-agent-info" and for each login shell you run this: if [ -f "${HOME}/.gpg-agent-info" ]; then . "${HOME}/.gpg-agent-info" export GPG_AGENT_INFO export SSH_AUTH_SOCK fi However it is easier to put "use-standard-socket" into ~/.gnupg/gpg-agent.conf and let gpg start gpg-agent as needed. This is the same procedure as used by 2.1 and which has always used with 2.0 on Windows (where use-standard-socket is the default). Salam-Shalom, Werner -- Die Gedanken sind frei.
