Hello everyone, > (x1) [~] ssh -o "StreamLocalBindUnlink=yes" -R /home/sithglan/.gnupg/S.gpg-agent:/home/sithglan/.gnupg/S.gpg-agent remote.machine.de > Warning: remote port forwarding failed for listen path /home/sithglan/.gnupg/S.gpg-agent to answer my own question. StreamLocalBindUnlink exists for client and for server. In order to make a remote port forwarding work with an existing socket, it needs to be enabled in the server, not in the client. So the following works: (infra) [~] grep StreamLocalBindUnlink /etc/ssh/sshd_config StreamLocalBindUnlink yes (infra) [~] /etc/init.d/ssh restart Restarting OpenBSD Secure Shell server: sshd. Afterwards it works like a charm.
