Playing around with the new kermit 95, and I can indeed get the agent to
store my keys locally, but when I try the following:
set ssh agent-forwarding on
ssh agent add \v(appdata)ssh/id_dsa (get passphrase prompt here)
ssh open IP-ADDR
I get connected to the remote system, but if I run ssh-add on the remote
system, I get:
"Could not open a connection to your authentication agent."
(the remote system is redhat linux with all the latest updates
for openssh).
If I try a PuTTY connection (that's a competing product :-), to the same
remote system with ssh agent forwarding turned on and using the pagent
agent, I see a SSH_AUTH_SOCK environment variable, and I can run ssh-add
with no problems.
