Awesome!

Just remember to use `ssh -a` (disabled SSH agent forwarding) when talking to untrusted systems.

Edit to add: by default, ssh doesn't forward the SSH agent, but that can be changed by config. Doesn't hurt to add the -a.

I thought by default it does not forward? But I guess better safe than sorry.
I doesn't forward by default, but for the off-chance that some wildcard rules in your .ssh/config do enable it, it's better to be safe than sorry.
Thanks. I didn't know that.
