Hi
Thanks for the input. I have now a few questions:
> + char data[1024];

You use a long pseudo-random token for to verify the private key, while
my patch uses a short (20 bytes) random token. What is recommended?
> + fprintf(stderr, " -T pubkey Test if ssh-agent can access matching private key.\n");
I think this documentation goes more to the point. Still the verb to use
is open:
-T for test
-C for check
-v for verify
-V for verify
I guess verify is the word with the least general meaning. And if we put
a capital V, it will not be mistaken as "version".
Any opinions?
Cheers
Konrad
