Hallo dear list,
for years I have a small helper in /etc/profile.d to search for an existing ssh-agent instance for my user and set the SSH_* environment variables accordingly if it finds one. If none is running it does the usual eval $(ssh-agent) thing. In the last days I built LFS 10.1 systemd version to compare sysV and systemd styles and educate myself further. When exiting and re-entering I noticed that it asks me - again - for my SSH key credentials and eventually my previous instance of ssh-agent is gone. Is it standard behaviour of systemd to kill all processes since login? My sysV install behaves like expected and ssh-agent stays alive. How would I start ssh-agent so that it will survive logoff? An additional layer of "nohup"?
