[Bug 496] add a timeout function to ssh-agent
http://bugzilla.mindrot.org/show_bug.cgi?id=496 hauser at acm.org changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |vinschen at redhat.com ------- Additional Comments From hauser at acm.org 2003-04-02 17:24 ------- Thanks to Corinna, I now can test it on the new cygwin version. Results: a) [ -S $SSH_AUTH_SOCK ] || eval `ssh-agent -t 900 -sa $SSH_AUTH_SOCK` doesn't ask for the lock password (as hinted in http://bugzilla.mindrot.org/show_bug.cgi?id=496#c3) what did I do wrong? b) If I manually add "ssh-add -x" I get asked for the lock password twice. This is unnecessary overhead - my screenlock also doesn't need to be configured manually each time I login. It should be possible to take a default password (e.g. the same one as the default identity .ssh/id_rsa has.) c) after the time-out, instead of trying to unlock by issuing "ssh-add -X" itself, the next ssh command will just no longer use my authorized_keys, but degrade the security level and ask for my server-side password d) the lock appears to take place after "elapsed seconds". It would be great if it also could be configured to only consider "idle seconds". ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug, or are watching the assignee.
