[X2go-dev] x2goclient and ssh-agent

[Heiko Baumann]

 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
