--- Begin Message ---Package: xfree86-common Version: 4.2.1-6 The way ssh-agent is started in 90xfree86-common_ssh-agent is not very flexible. In particular it makes it impossible to start extra processes like an xterm or two that would inherit the SSH_XXX environment variables. So what I propose is the following: * Replace 90xfree86-common_ssh-agent with the following --- cut here --- SSHAGENT=/usr/bin/ssh-agent SSHAGENTARGS= if grep -qs ^use-ssh-agent "$OPTIONFILE"; then if [ -x "$SSHAGENT" -a -z "$SSH_AUTH_SOCK" -a -z "$SSH2_AUTH_SOCK" ]; then if [ -f /usr/bin/ssh-add1 ] && cmp -s "$SSHAGENT" /usr/bin/ssh-agent2; then # use ssh-agent2's ssh-agent1 compatibility mode SSHAGENTARGS=-1 fi fi fi eval `"$SSHAGENT" -s $SSHAGENTARGS` >/dev/null --- cut here --- 'ssh-agent -s' outputs a mini-script that sets the SSH_XXX variables. Our eval runs this code which sets the environment variables in the current shell. * Add a 99xfree86-common_start script to actually invoke REALSTARTUP --- cut here --- exec $REALSTARTUP --- cut here --- * Then, between 90 and 99 administrators are free to add whatever scripts they want to run in the ssh-agent environment. Next I'll send an example taking advantage of this. -- Francois Gouget [email protected] http://fgouget.free.fr/ 1 + e ^ ( i * pi ) = 0
