wine users - Mar 2009 - Using Pageant & Putty under Wine -

I am having an issue with Putty v.60 with Pageant v.60 under Wine-1.1.5.
The OS is Fedora 10 x86_64, and the Wine it the current RPM version for Fedora.

It is not that Pageant or Putty is not working;  both do load.  Putty does talk
SSH2
properly.  

The actual issue is that Keys that are loaded into Pageant v.60 are not
available
to Putty v.60 for authentication;  I suspect that this due to memory for Wine
apps is
not shared, and as such the keys are not availible to Putty.

Mainly just want to see if I am possibly on the correct tract for this issue.

This is a simple answer first use native ssh.   Far wiser idea than using putty
under wine.

Number two please try 1.1.17 before saying problems.  Ie the last development
version released.

A linux version of PuTTY exists as well, you might want to give that a
try... (It does not seem to include Pageant though)

You might want to try ssh-agent as well, don't know if PuTTY support that...

(I'm not sure if networking is used for communication between the SSH
clients and the agents)

You might even give Windows Pageant + native putty a try...

There are very real reasons for using Putty + Pagent

1)  The Gnome SSH authentication agent works badly
2)  Keeping multiple openssh keys, and Putty Keys is a pain in the Ass.
3) And because I want to.

Turns out the problem is caused by the version of Windows you 
emulate causes the issue.  Win95 or Win98 works.

WinNT or later seems to break the Windows Shared Memory that Pagent uses.

So setting a custom settings for the Putty, Pagent, Plink, and pscp works.

Thanks All
