Package: openssh-client
Version: 1:9.6p1-2
Severity: wishlist

Hi,

/usr/lib/openssh/agent-launch starts ssh-agent with a standard set of
parameters. I'd like to have -t 1200 added to that.

Please consider adding a possibility to control the parameters that the
ssh agent is being invoked, for example by having an override unit, or
having /usr/lib/openssh/agent-launch read a user-specific configuration
file.

Greetings
Marc
