My use-case is that when using Cygwin on Windows I want my "main" identity to be added to PuTTY's Pageant so that I can use it with PuTTY, WinSCP and friends. This is achieved by using
ssh-pageantfrom Cygwin rather thanssh-agentwhich is the OpenSSH one.Now the Pageant is implemented in a way that does not allow it to run multiple agents at the same time. Hence, I need to use the OpenSSH agent for the other identities.
