Forwarding both gpg and ssh agents

Hi,

as far as I know this is independently of GnuPG and just depends on the
configuration of the SSH client. Maybe have a search for "Stepping
Stone" configuration or alike. This should use your local keys.

For Example (based on something I used in the past):

Host thirdMachine-alias
	HostName thirdMachine
	ProxyCommand ssh user at FreeBSDmachine -W %h:%p
	User user

or alike... As I said, this is not GnuPG specific, but a SSH thing.

Kind regards
Alex
