What I am missing is why ever use ssh agent, including any re-enforced variations, if ProxyJump has none of the ssh agent issues and has little to no other disadvantages?
- ptman 6y agossh-agent is very useful, it's agent forwarding that is better handled with proxyjump. And my guess would be that forwarding came first and proxyjump only later.
- ncmncm 6y agoProxyJump doesn't help with the use cases cited in the tl;dr^Wintroduction.
- pritambaral 6y ago1. Agent was designed to solve a larger problem; ProxyJump to solve a specialised subset of that problem. 2. The issues and disadvantages claimed with Agent Forwarding don't actually exist anymore: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22753590 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22753590
