Hello lists,
For over a decade I've used windowmaker for my freebsd desktop. For easy
ssh/sftp access to sites, before starting windowmaker with xinit, I run
'agent' which is a tcsh alias for the following:
rm -f "$HOME"/.ssh/`hostname`.agent ; ssh-agent | grep -v echo >
"$HOME"/.ssh/`hostname`.agent ; source "$HOME"/.ssh/`hostname`.agent ;
ssh-add
it prompts me for my ssh keyphrase. Then I start xinit, and all windows
subsequently opened in xorg/windowmaker have this key in their
environment loaded. Connecting to another server is as easy as ssh
name@server.
However, this does not happen if MATE is loaded from xinit. It is as if
I had not loaded the key at all before starting MATE. I get this error:
sign_and_send_pubkey: signing failed: agent refused operation
If I then run 'agent', prompts me for the keyphrase, then it works
normally. But I have to repeat this in every single opened terminal.
What do I have to do to stop MATE from clobbering (or whatever it's
doing - I don't know where to start with this) ssh-add?
for context: recent freebsd-stable/amd64 and ports
thanks,

J.
