Sorry I didn''t reply to this earlier. I''ve been pretty sick,
and
haven''t had a chance to investigate.
To be honest, I don''t know much about ssh-agent forwarding, so unless
agent forwarding using some existing mechanism of the SSH protocol to
do the forwarding, Net::SSH does not support it.
If you wouldn''t mind, could you go to the Net::SSH project page
(http://rubyforge.org/projects/net-ssh) and add ssh-agent forwarding
as a feature request there? That way it won''t get lost, and when
I have some time to look at Net::SSH again I''ll know what to work on.
Thanks!
