please report back when you have that info! > For example, does using ssh trigger the creation of the agent now, > simply because the sockets are available? if you've explicitly pointed $SSH_AUTH_SOCK to the address of gpg-agent's ssh-agent emulation socket [0], and you have public key authentication enabled in ssh, and use it to talk to a peer that offers public key authentication, then yes, it should do so. [0] typically /run/user/$(id -u)/gnupg/S.gpg-agent.ssh But if you don't want to use gpg's ssh-agent emulation, you simply shouldn't point SSH_AUTH_SOCK to it. --dkg
