Add SSH_AGENT option to change ssh-agent per identity #53

Closed kgraefe closed 5 years ago

kgraefe commented 5 years ago

My use-case is that when using Cygwin on Windows I want my "main" identity to be added to PuTTY's Pageant so that I can use it with PuTTY, WinSCP and friends. This is achieved by using ssh-pageant from Cygwin rather than ssh-agent which is the OpenSSH one.

Now the Pageant is implemented in a way that does not allow it to run multiple agents at the same time. Hence, I need to use the OpenSSH agent for the other identities.

Closed in favor of #54 .

I had to rename the branch. Sorry for the noise.
