It seems ssh-agent alone don't do the job because it is not possible to keep
env vars SSH_AGENT_PID and SSH_AUTH_SOCK between sessions
keychain do a good job setting ssh-agent for the user, using ,bash_profile
and keeping the env vars on a file in ~/.keychain/
I was trying to set this on rc.local (with S99rc.local on ubuntu). Maybe it
is possible to set keychain there, but for now I just use rc.local to log as
backuppc user. Boot stops, asks for the passphrase (but not the user
password?). Then I run exit to continue boot.
Not very elegant :)
And the first ssh as backuppc user I do seems to hang or take too long to
connect. After that, it works fine.
