Bug#296499: kdebase-kio-plugins: sftp:// should use ssh-agent if possible
Package: kdebase-kio-plugins
Version: 4:3.3.2-1
Severity: normal
sftp:// kioslave should use SSH keys stored in ssh-agent instead
of forcibly prompting for password.
When used from command-line, sftp uses ssh-agent stored keys as well
as ssh does.
fish:// kioslave handles it correctly too.
It is a minor usability and security issue, as it forces to reenter
sensitive password multiple times (somehow kwallet support in sftp://
seems broken too).
