Good day, I?ve been looking at replacing the Apple provided ssh-agent, while still starting it from Launchd, but all the solutions I?ve thus far saw was typically fixed with absolute path names. The one thing that the Apple ssh-agent https://opensource.apple.com/source/OpenSSH/OpenSSH-220.220.4/openssh/ssh-agent.c.auto.html <https://opensource.apple.com/source/OpenSSH/OpenSSH-220.220.4/openssh/ssh-agent.c.auto.html> does, it to fetch the filedescriptors from launchd, and create sockets from that, instead of opening it?s own unix sockets, and if you use the $SSH_AUTH_SOCKET variable of that socket that launchd created and listened on before starting the ssh-agent, then ssh-agent fails as it can?t open the socket while launchd also has it open. The related code inside the conditionals for __APPLE_LAUNCHD__ , and the l_flag variable (that is introduced with the -l option to tell it?s running under launchd If it?s acceptable to provide the needed, I?ll start the process to patch/etc. against the latest and do the pull request, (I?m surprised I haven?t yet found a SystemD related stuff doing the same in the code based to do the same) -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
