====== Using SSH agent forwarding ======

SSH agent forwarding allows you to use your local SSH keys on a remote host, when using it to connect to yet another host.

You can either define this in your ''~/.ssh/config'' file with a host specific section:

<code>
Host example.com
   ForwardAgent yes
</code>

:!: Do not simply forward to all hosts with ''Host *'', as this will make your SSH keys available to all hosts you connect to.

You can also use it as a one off in your SSH command:

<code>
ssh -o ForwardAgent=Yes user@server
</code>
