Sorry for not formulating this better. You are of course right If I'm not logged in the remote forward is not working. That is not what I meant to say. The problem is, that when I disconnect the /run/.../gnupg dir is deleted and the next time I want to connect and ssh tries to set up the forwarding this will fail because the /run/.../gnupg directory in which the forwarded socket should be created does not exist. Warning: remote port forwarding failed for listen path /var/run/user/<uid>/gnupg/S.gpg-agent My current workaround is to connect first and start dirmngr on the remote machine (to get the socketdir created and used). And then connect with ssh socket forwarding. This is a bit clunky to use. I've tried placing files in that folder, or to set up permissions to 000 for the gnupg folder (so that gnupg itself does not use it) but to no avail. It's still removed when disconnecting and the next connect will fail.
