Currently, Nix passes `-a` when it runs commands on a remote machine via SSH, which disables agent forwarding. This causes issues when the `ForwardAgent` option is set in SSH config files, as the command line operation always overrides those. In particular, this causes issues if the command being run is `sudo` and the remote machine is configured with the equivalent of NixOS's `security.pam.enableSSHAgentAuth` option. Not allowing SSH agent forwarding can cause authentication to fail unexpectedly. This can currently be worked around by setting `NIX_SSHOPTS="-A"`, but we should defer to the options in the SSH config files to be least surprising for users. |

$ curl -L https://nixos.org/nix/install | sh
Information on additional installation methods is available on the Nix download page.
Building And Developing
See our Hacking guide in our manual for instruction on how to build nix from source with nix-build or how to get a development environment.
