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

hi all,
is it still not possible to use x2goclient with a running ssh agent?

do you use ssh-agent oder just a ssh key with passphrase? i my case using a ssh key (with or without passphrase) works great but if run something like this:
eval
ssh-agent -sssh-addbefore starting x2goclient from this shell it does not use the running agent. if i do a simple "ssh -l username sshhost" from the same shell it works without asking a password.
it looks like x2goclient does not care about a running ssh-agent!?
using it that way would be a great improvement in security imho and makes single-sign-on possible if you start your ssh-agent at login time.....

IIRC, it simply worked for me. Instead of a password, the passphrase was being asked.
All I had to do was a normal login via SSH previously to get the known_hosts stuff sorted.
