I only use ssh and associated tools with keys when remoting in from the

box exports several directories via NFS, users/no root. The other boxes
then just mount those as users and its all drag/drop.

Ed,

Many years ago I used NFS to access applications and data files on a
separate host. Now I want to fully configure and mirror the old
server/workstation on the new box. I also need to set up dirvish on the new
host and switch the two host names so postfix works on the replacement. Then
the old host is retired.

For the local LAN I created ssh key pairs without a passphrase, with all
hosts having a set in $HOME/.ssh/authorized_keys and as theses never go
"outside" no passphrase is not an issue.

I have the laptops and desktop talking with each other. It was the loss of
ssh-agent after the reboots that was the issue.

Rich
