gnupg agent configurable backlog for sockets
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

Current backlog for listening gpg-agent socket is hard-coded and equals 5. It's too low value for running parralel ssh while using gpg-agent as ssh-agent. Default value for ssh-agent is 128 and it's ok.

My suggestion is to change hard-coded backlog value to configurable one and set 128 as default.

Okay, lets try with a default of 64. Note that for many concurrent ssh sessions you may also need the option --auto-expand-secmem which will come with Libgcrypt 1.8.2 and GnuPG 2.2.4
