I mostly tend to agree, although note that your alternative approach makes it difficult to ensure that ssh-agent goes away when the X session dies. Something would need to be done about that; I don't know what. In any case, this file is shipped by x11-common rather than by openssh-client, so reassigning there. -- Colin Watson [[email protected]] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
