>Description:
What I want is that ssh-agent is started on the remote host if I login on the
remote host. Therefore I added the following lines to pam.d/sshd
file on the remote host.

auth            optional        pam_ssh.so              no_warn try_first_pass
session         optional        pam_ssh.so

If I login on the remote host the password for ssh-key is requested (as
it should) but no ssh-agent is started (even if type in the correct ssh passphrase). I'm quite sure that it is a bug
in pam_ssh.so.
>How-To-Repeat:
Add the described lines to pam.d/sshd on a remote host. Export your public ssh key to the remote host and login on the remote host. See if ssh-agent is started and serving your passphrase (ssh-add -l).
>Fix:
Sorry, no idea.
