One of our most frequently requested is ssh-agent (authentication
forwarding) support, and it will probably be the next "major" new
feature we look into implementing.

The main reason that this hasn't been implemented yet is due to the
iPhone's restrictions on background processes. Authentication
forwarding normall works by having a background agent process running
on your machine, which the ssh process communicates with to perform
the authentication requests. Since this isn't possible, it's going to
take a fair bit of work to develop an "in-process" authentication
agent. Based on cursory investigations of the code, it looks like this
*should* be possible; however, it is likely to be a lot of work. :)

not yet...we'll definitely post when it's ready, but it may not be for
a while yet, since it looks like it will be pretty difficult to
implement.
