Bug ID: 3860
Summary: make agent socket template customizable
Product: Portable OpenSSH
Version: 10.0p2
Hardware: Other
OS: Linux
Status: NEW
Severity: enhancement
Priority: P5
Component: sshd
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Hi,
we have been tracking an agent problem today in 8.7 that attempted and
failed to create the remote agent socket path in the (non-local) home
directory.
The problem was ultimately in the user profile but in the course of
researching the cause I noticed that in 10.0p2 a template was
introduced which switches the path from /tmp/ to the user home
(pw.pw_dir) - e.g. agent_socket_template() in misc-agent.c.
It will probably be a while until we reach 10.0 but in order to avoid
any future problems, may I request some way to customize the remote
path, i.e. something like AgentRootDir which defaults to the user home
but could be customized to /tmp/ or something else in case a remote
home could cause problems.
Best
Kruno
