Hello, when I forward a ssh agent to a remote host the corresponding socket path on the host looks looks like (I use OpenSSH_5.4p1): /tmp/ssh-*/agent.* Is there a way to replace that with a predefined path? The reason I need this is that on that host I use a screen program. The shells running under the screen when I attach to it do not know about the new socket. They inherit the environment when the screen has started, not when the connection is made. To workaround that when I connect I create a symlink like $HOME/forwarded_agent_socket that points to the real socket and set SSH_AUTH_SOCK to $HOME/forwarded_agent_socket. That works but it would be nice if I could avoid this symlink and just make sure that sshd uses $HOME/forwarded_agent_socket directly. Regards, Igor
