Hi,
I find the ssh-pageant package helpful to enable cygwin ssh to interact
seamlessly with PuTTY's Pageant SSH agent. One small issue is that after
installing, one has to add the lines:
> |# ssh-pageant eval $(/usr/bin/ssh-pageant -r -a
> "/tmp/.ssh-pageant-$USERNAME")|
(see https://github.com/cuviper/ssh-pageant)
<https://github.com/cuviper/ssh-pageant>to .bashrc for each user.
Would it be acceptable to update the ssh-pageant package to add a file
/etc/profile.d/ssh-pageant.sh that does this automatically?
Or is there another preferred way to do this, e.g. a postinstall script?
I'd be happy to draft a script file for review.
Thanks,
Chris.
