- bobds 16y agoI also use ssh-agent on Windows, through msysgit. I think putty also includes some utility that does the same thing.
- mooism2 16y agoPutty has Pageant.
- colinstrickland 16y agoOS X is using ssh-agent itself, via a launchd monitored socket. Apple's version of ssh-agent is customised to automatically get passphrases for keys from the keychain.
- Yaggo 16y agoRight. Essentially you get password-free ssh logins without sacrificing (much of) your security.
