I don't know how ssh-agent works unde Cygwin. It has been many years that I last looked at Cygwin. How to they emulate nix doman sockets? That is the crucial question. > The ssh-agent under Cygwin appears to work in the same way it does on > GNU/Linux, i.e., the ssh process looks for the environment variables > that ssh-agent prints when started. I believe gpg-agent prints these environment variables. I can't check right now because I removed the current installation cause I am about to test a new gpg4win. However the crucial question is how the Unix domain sockets are implemented. Shalom-Salam, Werner -- Die Gedanken sind frei.
