<!-- =========== START OF CLASS DESCRIPTION =========== -->
<h2 class="class">Class Agent</h2>

<hr/>

<p>Client interface for using private keys from an SSH agent running on 
the local machine. If an SSH agent is running, this class can be used to 
connect to it and retreive <a href="../private/paramiko.PKey-class.html" 
class="link"><code>PKey</code></a> objects which can be used when 
attempting to authenticate to remote SSH servers.</p>
Because the SSH agent protocol uses environment variables and 
unix-domain sockets, this probably doesn't work on Windows. It does work 
on most posix platforms though (Linux and MacOS X, for example).
