Comment:
Some kind of patches for `ssh-agent` were clearly necessary, since it no
longer works. I don't know about `sshd-session`.
The `ssh-agent` situation is tricky, because the port has never provided a
means for actually running it, so most users are probably still running
the Apple version, even while using the MacPorts `openssh`. But the Apple
`ssh-agent` on older systems sometimes causes deprecation warnings (I'm
not sure about actual failures), so running the more up-to-date version
from the port is helpful; you just need to create your own LaunchAgent
file (and disable Apple's).
I've done that here, and after upgrading the port (and logging out and
in), `ssh-add` hangs, though `ssh-agent` is running according to `ps`.
Rolling back to `9.9p2_1` fixes it.
Presumably the problem is that the upstream `ssh-agent` is incompatible
with `launchd`, and the purpose of the patches was to fix that. It might
be more maintainable to create a wrapper program that would properly
launch the unmodified `ssh-agent`; I don't know.
