openssh bugs - Apr 2015 - [Bug 2381] New: foreground mode for ssh-agent

https://bugzilla.mindrot.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2381

            Bug ID: 2381
           Summary: foreground mode for ssh-agent
           Product: Portable OpenSSH
           Version: 6.9p1
          Hardware: Other
                OS: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P5
         Component: ssh-agent
          Assignee: unassigned-bugs at mindrot.org
          Reporter: igor at mir2.org

It would be nice to have an option to run ssh-agent in foreground
without forking. This will simplify ssh-agent integration with process
managers or containers when it is expected that service is not forking.

The current -d flag is not suitable for that as it also activates the
debug log.

Add ssh-agent -D flag for foreground without debug

Sounds reasonable. This adds a -D option (similar to sshd) that puts
ssh-agent in the foreground but does not enable debugging. It also
bumps the debug level for -d to DEBUG3.

It still prints the shell commands to get the environment to stdout,
since users might want to capture these for sourcing into shell
initialisation.

$ ./ssh-agent -D
SSH_AUTH_SOCK=/tmp/ssh-evSXau5OLQvF/agent.11610; export SSH_AUTH_SOCK;
echo Agent pid 11610;
