@gniibe Am I misunderstanding something? I thought that with this change one is able to connect from a Windows box to a Linux box and have GPG agent forwarding work. I am still hitting pretty much the same issue described here: https://github.com/PowerShell/Win32-OpenSSH/issues/1564
On my Windows endpoint I'm running gpg.exe version 2.4.0.49237 and in C:\Users\mate\AppData\Roaming\gnupg\gpg-agent.conf I have a single line enable-win32-openssh-support. Running gpg-connect-agent.exe reloadagent /bye I have a gpg-agent running. Get-Process gpg-agent shows that it's running. In my Windows env I have SSH_AUTH_SOCK set to \\.\pipe\openssh-ssh-agent and my Linux endpoint is configured in SSH config with
ForwardAgent yes AddKeysToAgent yes RemoteForward /run/user/1015/gnupg/S.gpg-agent C\:/Users/mate/AppData/Local/gnupg/S.gpg-agent.extra
As the remote end reports /run/user/1015/gnupg/S.gpg-agent that socket for agent-socket when issuing gpgconf --list-dirs and my local gpgconfg.exe --list-dirs reports C%3a\Users\mate\AppData\Local\gnupg\S.gpg-agent.extra where I transform %3a to \: manually. SSH authentication works perfectly, when connecting pinentry-qt pops up to unlock my key and when connecting to yet another machine, my SSH agent is forwarded again. However, gpg fails to use my agent. Issuing gpg --list-secret-keys --verbose prints the following to the console:
gpg --list-secret-keys --verbose gpg: using pgp trust model getsockopt SO_ERROR failed connect_to C:/Users/mate/AppData/Local/gnupg/S.gpg-agent.extra port -2: failed. gpg: no running gpg-agent - starting '/usr/bin/gpg-agent' getsockopt SO_ERROR failed connect_to C:/Users/mate/AppData/Local/gnupg/S.gpg-agent.extra port -2: failed. gpg: waiting for the agent to come up ...

(4s) gpg: waiting for the agent to come up ... (3s) gpg: waiting for the agent to come up ... (2s) gpg: waiting for the agent to come up ... (1s) gpg: can't connect to the agent: End of file
What is missing to tie the knot on both ends without having to resort to 3rd party tools like @rupor-github 's agent-gui? The remote gpg version is 2.2.19, is that the issue? Must that also be 2.3.9+?
