After having logged into the other box with ssh -X, run in that ssh session: gpg-connect-agent updatestartuptty /bye This tells gpg-agent on which DISPLAY or tty it should pop up the pinentry. In contrast to gpg ssh and the ssh-agent protocol have no way to convey the DISPLAY and other envvars to gpg-agent, thus you need to tell it manually. Salam-Shalom, Werner -- Die Gedanken sind frei.
