Hi,

I added ssh-agent forwarding to net-ssh to be able to deploy from svn
+ssh:// repositories using a local private key only, and mentioned it
over on the net-ssh-devel list. Looking in the archives of this list
it seems like it might well be of interest here too:

Here's a patch to add support for agent-forwarding to net-ssh. It
should apply cleanly to net-ssh 1.0.10, and adds a ":forward_agent"
option. I've made a gem with the patch applied for quick testing
available at:

  http://colon.colondot.net/~chrisa/net-ssh-1.0.11.gem

and the patch is also available at

  http://colon.colondot.net/~chrisa/agent-forwarding.diff

It uses the existing ssh-agent code, so ought to work where that does,
i.e. not with pageant. It's likely to only work with OpenSSH-derived
servers -- the agent-forwarding protocol is specific to them.


Cheers,
Chris.
