[9fans] p9p ssh-agent and unix keys

[Rudolf Sykora]

Hello everyone,

I have an ssh key, id_rsa, generated with the unix tools.
I want to have it put into factotum and use it via p9p ssh-agent.
I now the id_rsa key is ok, I can use it to get to the remote system.

Now, I did this (in bash):

;killall ssh-agent
;killall factotum
;eval $(9 ssh-agent -e)
;factotum -n
;pemdecode 'RSA PRIVATE KEY' id_rsa | asn12rsa >rsa2
;cat rsa2 | 9p write -l factotum/ctl

but when I now issue
;9 ssh-agent -l

I get nothing (and really the ssh login doesn't work
if the original id_rsa is removed).

Can anybody help me?

Thanks!
Ruda

for the record:

I found out the produced rsa2 key has to have a

service=ssh-rsa

added; only then 9 ssh-agent finds it in factotum.
Finaly, everything works.
