Yeah, it is. > I will briefly refresh your memory on it. OpenSSH uses > SSH_AGENT_SOCKET environment variable to connect SSH client and agent to get > authentication data.

Change the SSH_AGENT_SOCKET to something permanent before the session is started, e.g. to a symbolic link and then create that symlink depending on the current value just between the ssh login and reattaching to the screen session. See e.g. http://www.stderr.nl/Blog/Software/Mutt/MuttRemoteAttachments.html or http://www.jukie.net/bart/blog/screen-ssh-agent > There are already number of scripted solutions for this problem, that exist on > the net. But none of what I found is fully working. If those above do not give you the according hints, ask again and I'll try to document my working setup. It's based on these two articles and it works fine for me. HTH.
