[ANNOUNCEMENT] New package: ssh-pageant-1.4-1

[ANNOUNCEMENT] New package: ssh-pageant-1.4-1

[Michael Wild]

Version 1.4-1 of "ssh-pageant" has been uploaded.

ssh-pageant is a tiny tool for Windows that allows you to use SSH keys
from PuTTY's Pageant in Cygwin and MSYS shell environments. You can
use ssh-pageant to automate SSH connections from those shells, which
is useful for services built on top of SSH, like SFTP file transfers
or pushing to secure git repositories.
ssh-pageant works like ssh-agent, except that it leaves the key
storage to PuTTY's Pageant. It sets up an authentication socket and
prints the environment variables, which allows OpenSSH connections to
use it.

You. Are. The. Best.
Finally I can have access to elevated pageant from regular desktop!

Autostart (elevated):

test -f "$HOME/.ssh_agent" && . "$HOME/.ssh_agent"
eval $(ssh-pageant.exe -k)
ssh-pageant.exe -s | tee "$HOME/.ssh_agent"

.bashrc:
test -f "$HOME/.ssh_agent" && . "$HOME/.ssh_agent"

Works like a charm!
Now, I don't know, what is more important. Long-awaited Cygwin .34 release or
sudden availability of transparent key-based authentication to the userland.
I'll probably put them both on the same height.

Very intriguing. What is this elevated autostart thing? Some script
you put in your autostart folder in the start menu? How do you get
Windows to run it?

I'm glad you're happy with the package :-)
