-    to the authentication agent is passed in a file descriptor; however,
-    on some systems, commonly used shells close all open file descriptors.

-    the shells close all descriptors, and if so, defines AGENT_USES_SOCKET.
-    That socket is an unix-domain socket and will be stored with this name
-    in the user\'s home directory.  The socket must not be accessible by
-    anyone but the user him/herself.  The number at the end of the name
-    is the pid of the agent or the forwarding daemon.  Note that this
-    socket is stored in /tmp, which is supposedly on the local machine.  If
-    this were in the user\'s home directory, the daemon (running as root)
-    might not be able to create and chown the file to the user\'s uid. */
