hi,if you enable ssh agent forwarding (ssh option -A or ForwardAgent in ssh_config) your agent connection is "forwarded" to the remote host. this way you can use your ssh-agent (and smartcard in my case) to login (or mount sshfs) to another host using your private key stored in you local ssh-agent. this works with a socket created in /tmp/ssh-<somerandomstring>/agent.<pid> on the ssh server/host.if i use a current x2goclient this socket is not created and so i cannot mount a directory from another host from within my x2gosession.
Is it possible that Alex and you discuss two very separate things?Alex's topic: By looking at the sources of X2goClient, there obviously is an SSH agent implementation in X2goClient. BUT: that's for session authentication.
Heiko's topic: What you are referrring to in your last sentence is using X2go's reverse SSH port forwarding tunnel to access other server's shares in the X2go client's sub-LAN? This currently is not supported (and probably now wanted, either). Also: if the implementation of such a feature became a future endeavour we would have really to look at it very closely for considerations on security.
