Do you have a reference for this "super-agent magic"? I have to manually ssh-add any keys I want to use BEFORE I run ssh. If I simply say "ssh fs", it will prompt me for my passphrase, but it WILL NOT add it to ssh-agent. (ssh-agent is auto-started if you use X, but because my screen session persists across multiple X sessions, I have to manually start ssh-agent, too.) I'm running OpenSSH 5.5p1 on Debian Sid. > If it were crucial that darcs provide good password login support on > Windows, it does sound like darcs could do basically what TortoiseSVN > seems to be doing: provide its own password prompt and then make sure > it provides that in the command line to any plink/pscp/psftp calls it > makes. If Windows users can inspect one another's command lines (as Unix users usually can, e.g. ps(1)), that would constitute password disclosure on multi-seat flavours of Windows like Terminal Server. _______________________________________________ darcs-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.osuosl.org/mailman/listinfo/darcs-users
