# How to Forward ssh(1) Agent
`ssh(1)` agent forwarding can is activated in the `CONFIG` section of the hosts file:
```yaml
HOSTS:
...
CONFIG:
forward_ssh_agent: true
```
Beaker will then make the ssh agent running on the beaker coordinator available to the Systems Under Test (SUT). There is a gotcha though: the agent socket file in the SUT is only available to the user who signed in. If you want to access remote machine resources as another user, you *must* change the socket permission.
A dirty hack is to `chmod -R 777 /tmp/ssh-*` before changing to another user and relying on `$SSH_AUTH_SOCK`.
Example:
```puppet
exec { '/bin/chmod -R 777 /tmp/ssh-*':
} ->
vcsrepo { '/var/www/app':
provider => 'git',
source => 'https://example.com/git/app.git',
user => 'deploy'
}
```
## Cross-SUT access
If you need to be able to SSH between SUTs while running Beaker acceptance tests, please refer to the [enabling cross SUT access](enabling_cross_sut_access.md) document
