You can use such a subkey without a smartcard by using software provided by the monkeysphere project: http://web.monkeysphere.info/ Assuming this is the only authentication-capable subkey on your only gpg secret key, you'd simply do: monkeysphere subkey-to-ssh-agent which would load the key into the agent for use. You can pass additional parameters to ssh-add at the end of the argument list. For example, if you want to ensure that the key is only held by the agent for an hour, do: monkeysphere subkey-to-ssh-agent -t 3600 hope this helps, --dkg (one of the monkeysphere developers)
