Can you describe the situation you're in in more detail? I can make a signature using a curses window for passphrase prompting. In particular answers to any or all of the questions below would help me understand your use case: * what versions of pinentry do you have installed? * do you have dbus-user-session installed? * which version of pinentry is the default pinentry? * is there a concurrent graphical (X11) session running for the user account that you're using? * how are you connecting to the remote host? * what session management governs your non-X session on the remote host? If you've got a running dbus session (whether you have dbus-user-session or not), and you're using pinentry-gnome3, can you try rebuilding it with the patch i mentioned in https://bugs.debian.org/841909 and let me know how that works?
