| Subject: | Authorization using SSH-Agent |
When using Net::SSH::Perl, you can login to a remote host without
supplying credentials by using an SSH agent. This functionality does
not exist in Net::SSH2
The circumstance involves loggin into server X from a local machine
running ssh-agent and agent forwarding. Server X gets the users
credentials from the agent; when the user tries to connect from server X
to another server, agent forwarding allows the user access to the next
server.
Perl scripts written using Net::SSH::Perl could take advantage of this
funcionality to administer many machines from Serveer X. You cannot
duplicate this behavior using Net::SSH2, but it sure would be nice to be
able to.
