Description

Forwarded ssh-agent keyrings can be used for PAM authentication. Administrators install this module when access decisions should rely on SSH keys available through agent forwarding.

Forwarded agents can expose privileged authentication to remote hosts. Use only with trusted hosts and keep fallback access available.
