Thomas H. posted a query to the newsgroup on June 7th which
apparently never made it to Columbia or any other News server
that I have access to, but that did get found by Google.
He asked whether or not ssh-agent.exe worked and if so how.
Yes it works. Simply start it without any options. It does not
use sockets for communication with Kermit but instead uses Named Pipes
on the local machine.
As for its security, it is not as secure as I would like it yet.
My long term intention is to merge its functionality into the Kerberos
Credential Cache daemon. This uses Windows Security to ensure that
no other process other than one running in the same Desktop group is
able to access the contents of the Credentials Cache.
We just did not have time for this release.
