Often this isn't actually ssh-agent, but something else that speaks the agent protocol.

Generally I find it easier to override them. -d _______________________________________________ openssh-unix-dev mailing list openssh-unix-dev@xxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.mindrot.org/mailman/listinfo/openssh-unix-dev
