Hi, x2go developers.

I recently started to use x2go as remote control solution and very happy with it. Thanks for your work.

But I miss the ssh agent forwarding feature.

I searched the web today a lot about this question and found several links to mailing lists:

https://bugs.x2go.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=501

https://www.libssh.org/archive/libssh/2016-11/0000007.html

both contain messages from the same person Hadmut Danisch. The last one even contains patches for x2goclient and libssh.

What is the status of this feature? Is it not implement or is it me doing something wrong?

The feature is currently unsupported in X2GoClient. My understanding is that last time we checked, it wasn't available upstream, and we didn't want to fork libssh. This may, however, have changed since.

In the meantime, you can try to use our workaround listed at <http://wiki.x2go.org/doku.php/doc:howto:ssh-agent-workaround <http://wiki.x2go.org/doku.php/doc:howto:ssh-agent-workaround>>

Kind Regards, Stefan Baur

Thanks for the link! But the funny part is that for some reason this wiki page is not in Google index (try to search "x2go ssh agent forwarding site: wiki.x2go.org"). Other wiki pages (I tested howtos) also do not appear in Google. So I already reinvented this workaround by myself :-)
