Public bug reported:

I just tried installing the Artful version (0.10.3-1) on a Xenial
install, and had some problems making it work. It seems that I needed
`Defaults env_keep+=SSH_AUTH_SOCK` (or, actually, I used `Defaults
env_keep+=SSH_*`) to let pam-ssh-agent-auth see the SSH agent and
connect to it. Perhaps a note about this in the README would be helpful,
if this is really always required? Or is this not needed with newer sudo
versions (I'm using 1.8.16).

On a related note, I had some problems with directory permissions (this
Ubuntu install had group- and world-write bits enabled on / and /etc).
This is probably not a problem on a default install, but it might be
good to mention these restrictions when someone wants to move the key
file somewhere else (though a proper error message is logged to auth.log
by default, even without debug, so that's at least helpful).
