If all you need from the ssh agent is the socket, then just symlink it to a fixed location trusted both by you and by root, then you can override $SSH_AUTH_SOCK to the new location, e.g. if [ -S "$SSH_AUTH_SOCK" ]; then ln -snf "$SSH_AUTH_SOCK" fixed_trusted_location SSH_AUTH_SOCK=fixed_trusted_location fi -- ldv
