Howdy! I've been working on a prototype that allows to do ssh-agent forward between a guest, using SPICE, and a spice client (remote-viewer/virt-viewer/spicy) The whole idea is to have something similar to "ssh -A guest", but integrated with the desktop environment. As a proof of concept I wrote a standalone ssh-agent that _unlink_ the current running agent in the guest machine and creates its socket in the same path used by the old agent.
unlinking the socket seems a bit overkill. You could play with SSH_AUTH_SOCK
A few possible solutions for this would involve a way to support more than one agent, talking to both (the local one and the spice one), merging then their responses and returning it to any application who sent the request. Note that would be really nice if we can limit it to do just some operations (like, ssh-add .ssh/id_rsa probably must not go to the spice agent).
I would make a proxy ssh agent that linearly attempts from each child agent. The add operations would always go to the first agent (unless it returned an error?). I also like the idea of SSH_AUTH_SOCK containing a list of sockets. _______________________________________________ openssh-unix-dev mailing list openssh-unix-dev@xxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.mindrot.org/mailman/listinfo/openssh-unix-dev
