Hi I'm using GnuPG 2.0.29 on Solaris. This specific version is being used because it's the only one we could get installed and working.
I'm trying to generate keys from a user I have su'd to, but I get the following error: gpg-agent[23024]: command get_passphrase failed: Permission denied gpg: problem with the agent: Permission denied gpg: Key generation canceled. I believe that thus occurs because when pinentry-curses is invoked by gpg-agent, the tty is owned by the original user I logged into via SSH, not the user I switched to via su. I've seen various workarounds online, but most are relevant to GNU/Linux, not Solaris (e.g. run the "script" command with the -c option, which doesn't exist on Solaris). Others have suggested using the loopback pinentry-mode, which doesn't seem to exist in version 2.0.29 of gpg-agent , as far as I can tell. Has someone got a workaround? I need to be able to use "su" as we are not allowed to log into the user directly. I'm also stuck with Solaris and the specified version of GnuPG
