Without a seed, the "random" script path locations for the remote-exec
provisioner were actually deterministic!
Every rand.Int31() would return the same pseudorandom chain starting w/
the numbers: 1298498081, 2019727887, 1427131847, 939984059, ...
So here we properly seed the communicators so the script paths are
actually random, and multiple runs on a single remote host have much
less chance of clobbering each other.
Fixes#4186
Kudos to @DustinChaloupka for the correct hunch leading to this fix!
In the SSH client configuration, we had SSH Agent authentication listed
before the static PrivateKey loaded from the `key_file` setting.
Switching the default of the `agent` setting exposed the fact that the
SSH agent overrides the `key_file` during the handshake. By listing the
`key_file` first, we catch the provided key before any query goes out to
the agent.
Adds a key-based authentication SSH test to cover this new behavior. It
fails without the reordering on any machine with an SSH agent running.
Fixes#2614
* We now return an error when you set the script_path to
C:\Windows\Temp explaining this is currently not supported
* The fix in PR #1588 is converted to the updated setup in this PR
including the unit tests
Last thing to do is add a few tests for the WinRM communicator…
This is needed as preperation for adding WinRM support. There is still
one error in the tests which needs another look, but other than that it
seems like were now ready to start working on the WinRM part…
