On some systems, you may need to use the following instead:
On modern systems, you can use the following instead, as `gpgconf --list-dirs agent-ssh-socket` will automatically set `SSH_AUTH_SOCK` to the correct value; and is therefore typically better than hard-coding to `run/user/$UID/gnupg/S.gpg-agent.ssh`, if available:
Note that `SSH_AUTH_SOCK` normally only needs to be set on the *local* laptop (workstation), where the YubiKey is plugged in. On the *remote* server that we SSH into, `ssh` will automatically set `SSH_AUTH_SOCK` to something like `/tmp/ssh-mXzCzYT2Np/agent.7541` when we connect. We therefore do **NOT** manually set `SSH_AUTH_SOCK` on the server. (Doing so would break [SSH Agent Forwarding](#remote-machines-agent-forwarding).)
## Copy public key
**Note** It is *not* necessary to import the corresponding GPG public key in order to use SSH.
You may have to add the following to the shell rc file: _(On Linux, this is only required on the laptop/workstation where the YubiKey is plugged in, and **NOT** on the remote host server that you connect to; in fact at least on some Linux distributions, changing SSH_AUTH_SOCK on the server breaks agent forwarding.)_
