Proposal: always handle keys in separate process
...ave to read the
password and pass it on to ssh-agent. Could this be done in a better
way, maybe without exposing the password to the ssh-client?
This would mean that:
- ssh client could be stripped of any code that reads ssh-keys directly.
- or using the mechanism above could be made an option SpawnPrivateAgent
(possibly defaulting to 'yes')
- maybe, if that works, one could do a similar thing for sshd and its
hostkeys.
Ciao,
