Hi, A new user recently asked me about caching their ssh passphrase.
I noticed they had chosen the XFCE desktop and it wasn't immediately obvious to me what they should do. ssh-agent process is started at login and appears in the process table. After running ssh-add once their key is available. Is there a preferred way to avoid running ssh-add manually? For example, - should it be run from a script, which one? - or should ssh-add be added to the list of applications to run at startup in the settings panel? I saw an example[1] like that - or should they store their passphrase in GNOME Keyring somehow (e.g. logging in once with GNOME) and then enable the startup application that links ssh-agent to GNOME Keyring? - or some other strategy? If anybody could add the answer on the wiki[2] that would be really helpful.
