Thanks Lars ! I'm doing something like this, in my .xinitrc, as I start the X from the command line using 'startx': /usr/bin/ssh-agent "/usr/X11R6/bin/wmaker" Then in the xterm I just type ssh-add and every consecutive xterm can use ssh without prompting for the password. _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
