SSH using OpenPGP card under Windows

Has anyone managed to get this combination working?

There is a Putty extension but is appears to be non-free:
http://smartcard-auth.de/ssh-en.html

There is a free smartcard-enabled Putty:
http://www.joebar.ch/puttysc/
But it requires a PKCS#11 module -- I see on scute.org that
it is possible to build for Windows, but are there any
pre-compiled binaries available?

There seems to be some efforts in the OpenSC project to facilitate this,
but there is also documentation that suggests smartcard with putty
doesn't work perfectly.

Thanks,
/Simon

Scute is part of gpg4win 2.0.

I had in mind to change putty to optionally support gpg-agent - much the
same as we do under Unix. However I had not enough time to work on it.

Shalom-Salam,

Great.

I'm trying to use it with PuttySC's 'pprint' and it says:

scute-assuan[2756]: can't create socket: Function not implemented
scute-assuan[2756]: can't create socket: Function not implemented
sc: C_initialize failed

Running gpg-agent says it is running and available. Running 'gpg
--card-status' works. Any ideas?
