Yes, of course; you can centralize to a single "point of obscurity,"
but you can't eliminate the need for the user to authenticate somehow.
There's an interesting alternate indication here that I don't quite
understand; does anyone else? In OS X "Tiger" (10.4.x, the current
version), Apple appear to have removed the code that calls out to ssh-
agent, from their distribution of OpenSSH which is bundled with the
OS. I've googled up a lot of consternation about this, and done a
bit of experimental confirmation myself, but I can't find any
enlightenment. I had thought, perhaps, that someone might have found
some objection to the scheme, probably to the essential scheme since
a mere bug would rather have been fixed. But I find no traces of
this, nor do I see other platforms yanking ssh-agent compatibility.
So I'm puzzled. Anyone on this list know whazzup?
