You can add your keys manually by doing something like: ssh-add /path/to/my/private/keys
At one point, there was an x11 ssh-add pkg that you could hook in your xinitrc and after a kdm/gdm/xdm login, it would prompt for ssh password(s), and bind it to your X session. You can do something vaguely similar with putty and pageant (although putty doesn’t support good crypto). Mac supports putting the ssh key password into the keychain. -- Louis Kowolowski [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> Cryptomonkeys: http://www.cryptomonkeys.com/ <http://www.cryptomonkeys.com/> Making life more interesting for people since 1977
