<div dir="ltr">Hello Tim,<div><br></div><div>Mosh itself doesn't have anything to do with ssh-agent forwarding. Mosh doesn't maintain an SSH connection and it doesn't forward ssh-agent requests.</div><div><br></div>
<div>If you need this, you'll have to figure out how to keep an SSH connection open to forward the ssh-agent requests from the server to the client. Alternately, there is an experimental branch of Mosh (contributed by Timo Rinne) that adds ssh-agent forwarding that you can try.</div>
<div><br></div><div>(For the future, I think we have decided not to go in this direction of adding ssh-agent forwarding and X11 forwarding and SOCKS forwarding to Mosh and just to make a generic "slosh" as a separate program that ferries a reliable stream across a roaming, multihomed connection. Our current plans to do this involve lightweight Linux containers, which are working slickly in testing but would be Linux-only, so not sure what the community reaction will be.)</div>

<br>
I'm trying to get SSH Agent Forwarding to work. When I initially<br>
connect to a box using mosh, my agent forwards fine and I can hop from<br>
that box to somewhere else with no problem.<br>
<br>
When I drop that connection and reconnect though, the agent stops<br>
working. grawity on #mosh explained to me that the `SSH_AUTH_SOCK` is<br>
refreshed on every new ssh connection and that previously running<br>
processes (like tmux) will not have their environment updated (indeed<br>
they can't). So I came up with a simple way to put some files out on<br>
the file system with the current variable values and then source them<br>
in the running processes.<br>
<br>
As far as I can tell, this worked yesterday.<br>
<br>
Today, I went to do the same thing. I moshed in to the box and ran my<br>
variable export scripts and then reconnected to tmux and tried to hop<br>
and received an error.<br>
<br>
The `SSH_AUTH_SOCK` value is indeed changing when I mosh in, but it<br>
seems to either be ignored or in some other way be incorrect.<br>
<br>
Is there anything I can do to overcome this?<br>
<br>
Thanks in advance!<br>
