When executing monkeysphere-server add-identity-certifier across a link without a pseudo-terminal, it behaves oddly (prompts are created that are only halfway-readable, gpg gives error messages about lacking access to a /dev/tty, etc.

You can try this directly if you have remote ssh access to the superuser on a monkeysphere-enabled host, assuming that $GPGID is set to the full fingerprint of a key you want to add as a trusted identity certifier:

ssh root@example.org monkeysphere-server add-identity-certifier $GPGID

Compare this behavior with:

ssh -t root@example.org monkeysphere-server add-identity-certifier $GPGID
