moin moin,
> Oh, I believe your question syntax might have been misunderstood,
I suppose I should have asked about credentials rather than key, but in
the context of the quoted text I think it was sufficiently clear :).
ssh forwards all credentials that ssh-agent has cached and I'd prefer to
only forward specific credentials.
For instance, maybe I use a different key for each consulting client. When
I connect to client A I don't want to forward the credentials for client
B.
Another example, say I want to use a specific key from my workstation to
each of my consulting clients. I should not forward those credentials
because they could then be used to connect from client to client. Instead,
I want to forward diffferent credentials that are used inside a client's
network. Key Z is used for initial connection. Key A is forwarded to
client As bastion host for connecting to intranet boxen at client A. Key B
is forwarded to client Bs bastion host for connecting to intranet boxen at
client B. And so forth.
Essentially, -A for ssh needs a way to specify some granularity.
ciao,
