No not at all. agent is an opaque structure and you can not assume anything about it's contents. In particular, agent->fd is not used with Pageant on Windows. Please don't mistake libssh2 internals for the API. The API is portable but the internals will work differently per platform. //Peter _______________________________________________ libssh2-devel http://cool.haxx.se/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/libssh2-devel
