Hi,
I find the ssh-pageant package helpful to enable cygwin ssh to
interact seamlessly with PuTTY's Pageant SSH agent. One small issue is
that after installing, one has to add the lines:
|# ssh-pageant eval $(/usr/bin/ssh-pageant -r -a
"/tmp/.ssh-pageant-$USERNAME")|
(see https://github.com/cuviper/ssh-pageant)
<https://github.com/cuviper/ssh-pageant>to .bashrc for each user.
Would it be acceptable to update the ssh-pageant package to add a file
/etc/profile.d/ssh-pageant.sh that does this automatically?
Does what? Add something to other users' profiles? Sounds like MS-style
patronizing of user preferences. Certainly not appreciated by most
people. Also, why should most cygwin users want to use ssh via putty?
Mintty + ssh is a seamless modular solution.
Who said anything about putty?
The Cygwin package manager (setup) in the description of the ssh-pageant
package:
"SSH agent for Cygwin/MSYS that links to PuTTY's Pageant"
We're speaking about pageant - the key keeper.
Which has a better support in Windows apps than Cygwin's ssh-agent.
While I agree with your judgement, I don't get your patronizing.
