    This is a quick configuration upgrade that allows you to continue using ssh as you have, but with the added benefit of `ssh-agent` forwarding when logged into remote hosts, meaning no more keys on intermediate servers and the like.

    ## Requirements
    This snippet assumes that you've been using ssh, ssh keys, and authorized_keys on remote hosts.

    * `.ssh/id_dsa` and/or `.ssh/id_rsa` already exist
    * keys are authorized on the remote servers you have been using
    * you have at least a minimal working `.ssh/config` file
