pinentry-tty doesn't support "-v" (removed), and I used the FreeBSD 
ktrace...

The issue is, that pinentry-tty can't open the tty. The errno is no such 
file or directory, but it is is visible with ls. The reason why this 
happens is that I ssh to the FreeBSD host, and from there login into a 
jail. The jail imposes some access restrictions on processes within the 
jail.

If I ssh into this account, a new tty is opened and the export works as 
it should.

As such I opened a discussion on the FreeBSD side about this behavior. 
The is at least a mismatch of what you see (the pts) and what you can do 
(normally if you see a pts, you can access it), so to me either it 
should allow the access, or not show the pts in ls...

Bye,
Alexander.
