[pam_mount] SSH agent forwarding and pam_mount

[Sergio W. <ser...@gm...>]

Hi all!

I have tried to use SSH agent forwarding to connect to a remote system
by public key authentication. In such remote machine the pam_mount is
configured in order to mount a directory by means of SSHFS. However,
it seems that the SSH agent forwarding doesn't works against the SSHFS
remote server. The goal is to use just only one private key, instead
of having two (one to login to the remote system, and the other one to
mount the SSHFS directory).

Does anyone knows if is it possible to use SSH agent forwarding in
order to login to a remote system and, at the same time, mount a
remote directory by using pam_mount and SSHFS?

What I have discovered is that if I use a new key pair in the remote
SSH server, pam_mount works and mounts the SSHFS directory; but not
with just only one key pair and agent forwarding.
