If your server uses SSH keyboard-interactive user authentication method, the server may ask different login questions every time you request an access. In such case, the new caching mechanism used in Login Agent for "keyboard-interactive" is ineffective. However, if the required login questions are the same for each login, you need to answer them only once. All future questions are answered automatically by Login Agent.

You can now create an SSH tunnel and use it as a local SOCKS server that supports version 4 and 5. For example, if you created a dynamic port forwarding on port number 1080, you can set other applications such as Web browser or email client to use that tunnel by configuring them to use the SOCKS server at "localhost" or "127.0.0.1" on port number 1080.
