Package: ssh Version: 1:3.4p1-1.woody.3 Severity: wishlist ssh as of today forwards X11 and ssh-agent sockets just fine, so there is no technical reason why not to allow other unix domain sockets to be forwarded.
intended use would be to forward a gpg-agent socket, very similar to how ssh-agent works. gpg-agent lives on the box with the private key, and services requests from gpg clients. gpg-agent does not listen on a network socket for very much the same reasons as ssh-agent. at the moment gpg-agent is available only in the development versions of gnugp, so this issue is not very urgent and for now i'm working around this limitation using a horrible mess involving socat (unix-domain socket -- socat -- tcp port forward -- socat -- socket), but i'd very much like to get rid of that... regards az -- System Information Debian Release: 3.0 Architecture: i386 Kernel: Linux cluon 2.4.28 #1 Thu Dec 9 12:52:20 EST 2004 i686 Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=de_AT Versions of packages ssh depends on: ii adduser 3.47 Add and remove users and groups ii debconf 1.4.30.11 Debian configuration management sy ii libc6 2.3.2.ds1-20 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii libpam-modules 0.72-35 Pluggable Authentication Modules f ii libpam0g 0.76-22 Pluggable Authentication Modules l ii libssl0.9.6 0.9.6c-2.woody.7 SSL shared libraries ii libwrap0 7.6-9 Wietse Venema's TCP wrappers libra ii zlib1g 1:1.2.2-3 compression library - runtime -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
