gpg-agent was already on the system, which I have also been able to reboot.
Unfortunately, gpg-agent didn't seem to solve the problem. I used it once successfully, but every other time I tried the transfer would never start. Also I had to use gpg2 to access the agent. I noticed, even when I did not use the agent, I would not always get prompts for sudo and/or gpg. I expect the responses are cached for at least a brief time. I also tried ross@markov:~$ mkfifo rendevous ross@markov:~$ ssh kornak "cat markov/turtle.MiniSqueeze00.gpg" | gpg2 -d > rendevous ^Z [1]+ Stopped ssh kornak "cat markov/turtle.MiniSqueeze00.gpg" | gpg2 -d > rendevous ross@markov:~$ bg [1]+ ssh kornak "cat markov/turtle.MiniSqueeze00.gpg" | gpg2 -d > rendevous & ross@markov:~$ sudo cmp rendevous /dev/turtle/Squeeze00 [sudo] password for ross: but it just hung at that point.
