[X2go-dev] x2goclient and ssh-agent

[Heiko Baumann]

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 -s`
ssh-add

before 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.....
