Hi Oleksandr,
thanks for the info. i tried the new version and ssh-agent login works great. but i've also hacked my patch yesterday to support agent forwarding. this way i can use sshfs to mount a remote directory without password into my x2gosession.
this does not work with the new version. the changelog shows that you now use libssh. is it possible to add this feature? would be really useful.
thanks heiko

hi,
because no one cared about my request i tried to fix it by myself. attached is a patch which adds an --ssh-agent option to x2goclient. if x2goclient is called with this option it uses a running ssh-agent to connect to the x2goserver.
btw. i dont know anything about coding C++ nor anything about x2goclient development. so maybe this patch does break something else or may be a bad hack. however it works for me.
maybe the x2go devs could include it (or write a better one :)) in one of the next releases? this would be great because i now have SSO with my usb token for all important tools. ssh-agent is started at logon and everything works without entering my passphrase again (ssh/scp, sshfs, nxclient, x2goclient etc.).
regards heiko
Hello Heiko,
there is a "Try auto login (ssh-agent or default ssh key)" option in preferences of a X2Go-session since x2goclient-3.01-14
