Paul, And this should occur when I log in. In ~/.bash_profile (on both hosts) is the line: [ -z "$SSH_AGENT_PID" ] && tty -s && exec ssh-agent bash --login > What are the values of the SSH environment variables exported in your > shell? What does `env | grep SSH` say? On the server (salmo) this returns: $ env | grep SSH SSH_AGENT_PID=23572 SSH_AUTH_SOCK=/tmp/ssh-mjcvdSB75KN0/agent.18869 On the portable (typha) it returns the bash prompt; no agent running. > How many ssh-agent processes are currently running?

Yes, I'm the only logged in user. Manually running ssh-agent creates the socket and PID; still no environment variables to display.
