My bad. Please disregard my previous email. I apologise ! Your suggestion is great. What I didn't realise is that keychain is a great tool which resides in /usr/ports/security/keychain and it does this: allowing you to easily have one long-running ssh-agent process per system, rather than per login session. Actually, it's simpler than that. Just add the following lines to your .profile: export SSH_AUTH_SOCK=/tmp/user.agent ssh-add -L /dev/null 21 if [ $? -ge 2 ]; then ssh-agent -a $SSH_AUTH_SOCK /dev/null 21 fi Then you'll just need to run ssh-add once after every reboot to re-add the key, but the ssh-agent will be accessible from every terminal, X11 session, ssh login, etc. with your username. as its web site states: http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/keychain/index.xml Thank you Clayton ! ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- I sense much NT in you.

SSH-agent setting
Hello, I set ssh-agent just fine for a session from a xterm under X. But what I'd like to have is once I log in to have session start from my .profile so that when I do startx every subsequent xterm 'inherits' the ssh-agent so that I don't have to type in the password. Is such a thing do-able ? Thank you ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Why not use keychain and put it in the appropriate rc file (.bashrc, cshrc, etc.), then you'll be connected to the agent automatically. on 02-15-2005, kilim wrote: On Tue, Feb 15, 2005 at 04:56:43PM +0100, Lars Kristiansen wrote: Hello, I set ssh-agent just fine for a session from a xterm under X.

Why not use keychain and put it in the appropriate rc file (.bashrc, cshrc, etc.), then you'll be connected to the agent automatically. You top posted. Anyways. Because if I have ssh-agent in .profile everytime I start an xterm I'll have another ssh-agent starting. Then for each and every one of them I'll have to run ssh-add and type in the pass pharase. Which completely defeats the whole point.
