Speaking of putty, I recently started using it instead of OpenSSH under 
Cygwin. My only problem is that I haven't really figured out the putty 
authentication agent, or at least how to work with agent forwarding when 
using Putty. Here is what I did:

1. Ran the putty agent and imported my OpenSSH RSA key.
2. The putty agent prompted for my key password, which I entered and the 
agent accepted.
3. Right-click the agent, go to Saved Sessions, and choose a server that 
always worked with ssh and key-agent.
4. Putty opens and logs me right in:

Sent username "root"
Authenticated using RSA key "XXX" from agent

5. Here is where things go messy:

serverXX# ssh www2
[EMAIL PROTECTED]'s password:

I should NOT be getting a password prompt. I should just slide right in.

What's up? Like I said, I am used to using ssh and ssh-agent rather than 
Putty, so I don't doubt I'm doing something wrong.
