This sounded extremely interesting to me. one suggestion I would have is to use uuencoding first on encryption and uudecode on decryption to take care of the problem you mentioned "Of course RSA puts limits on the data that can be encrypted" that should take care of that. I was looking for a way of using ssh-agent to be used to allow certain applications to get passwords. Example: I

...ed (eventually ability to talk to the ssh-agent, so root account) I don't think it would weakened ssh-agent. If I'm wrong, please let me know. If it is something of interest for you, I can do all the development and provide you with all the code. Comments and feedback welcome, Cheers, pak76 PS1. Above I'm talking about passwords, but as a matter of fact it can be anything that can be saved as a string. Of course RSA puts limits on the data that can be encrypted, so probably scenario: secrets encrypted with a symmetric cipher, a symmetric key encrypted with the public key is more...
