You just described exactly what an SSH agent does. :) > Thoughts? I agree it would be nice to allow new and cool agent solutions. Just like we discussed to potentially have SFTP be separate from (but close to) libssh2 I think it would make sense to have a separate development effort for agent development. It makes a lot of sense to me because it will be a much smaller code base which is thus easier to review and possibly certify for those with such needs. //Peter _______________________________________________ libssh2-devel http://cool.haxx.se/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/libssh2-devel
