[Twisted-Python] SSH agent

[stefan.lange at ubs.com]

Hi Paul,

I want to use a scripted approach for executing different sorts of tasks on a couple of machines, initiated from 1 central machine.
The administrative user should get prompted for the SSH passphrase only once (at start of the script), from then on the script should run unattended, without requiring further interactive input.
Would you estimate the subset of SSH agent functionality implemented in Conch is sufficient for this? Which features are missing?

Regards,
stefan

There is some code in twisted.conch.ssh.agent to interact with a key
agent.  It doesn't implement all of the features an agent supports,
just enough to test and get identities.  What are you trying to use an
agent for?
