Add private keys from host

[attiks]

Is there an easy way to add your own private keys, so we can push code to d.o.?

Good question…I'd usually recommend agent-forwarding rather than adding the keys to the box (because I know plenty of people who have simply zipped a box up to copy to someone else's machine, and no-one wants to hand out their private keys), but I can see value in both.

I'll experiment a little to work out:

• the best way of specifying keys to copy (I know some builds that lift all the dot-files in ~, and the ~/.ssh dir)
• how to handle agent-forwarding in vagrant ssh

Someone mentioned this at Drupalcon Munich, and a good solution, I'll try to remember what it was!

I think that this was it: https://github.com/myplanetdigital/ariadne/blob/master/cookbooks-override/ariadne/libraries/helpers.rb

But it looks like vagrant has baked in support for ssh agent-forwarding: http://vagrantup.com/v1/docs/config/ssh/forward_agent.html

Indeed the option in Vagrant works, for the vagrant user in the VM, and adding this line to the /etc/sudoers file makes that work for the root (and presumably other users too)

Defaults env_keep = "SSH_AUTH_SOCK"
