That is because ssh has no mechanism to tell the ssh-agent (in this case gpg-agent) the DISPLAY or tty to use for pinentry. This the pinentry pops up on the tty or X server gpg-agent was initially started. Running gpg-connect-agent updatestartuptty /bye on your current tty tells gpg-agent to updates its default tty and DISPLAY to the one where you run gpg-connect-agent. ssh will then work again. After you switch back to another terminal you need to do the same. I have to use it always when I move from my standalone laptop to the Xserver connected to that laptop. It is a bit annoying and the only clean solution would be to enance the the ssh-agent protocol and implement that in both, ssh and gpg-agent. Salam-Shalom, Werner -- Die Gedanken sind frei.
