Probably not. ssh-agent is pretty cool.
I'm just wondering if using a tunnel via ssh/ssl has its limits in
terms of reliable connectivity. I'm wondering if STARTLS is the
only way to get a secure connection that is less likely to hang.
Dunno.
One thing we've noticed with OpenSSH 2.9X is that if a ssh session
dies due to a failed Internet connection, the process on the server
seems to hang around for almost indefinitely. Maybe this is
related? Dunno.
