Description Derek Schrock 2017-01-27 13:45:40 AEDT 
Currently you can't set a lifetime for a key added by AddKeysToAgent other than the lifetime set when running ssh-agent with -t.

Add an ssh_config AddKeysToAgentLifetime option to allow the setting of a lifetime if a key is added via AddKeysToAgent.

Adds "AddKeysToAgentTimeout" option for ssh_config

I've attached a patch which provides a "AddKeysToAgentTimeout" option for ssh_config. It's been running on my personal machine for a few weeks without issue but I'd appreciate anyone with more experience looking it over.

Slightly revised patch which tweaks documentation

I've slightly reworded the documentation in the patch from djl@mksh.org, just to specify that the timeout relates to the AddKeysToAgent option. Most of the work is still theirs, including all actual source code changes which I did not touch.

AddKeysToAgent with interval support

This adds support for specifying an interval to AddKeysToAgent, including requesting both per-use confirmation and an interval via AddKeysToAgent="confirm 5m"
