How do you added ssh-agent so that it runs prior to bash in a login script.
I thought I could modify /etc/passwd and set my shell to
/usr/bin/ssh-agent /bin/bash
ssh-add likes this, but it does not allow me to do key based
authentication, for some reason I think this worked at one time
While using the same keys sets at the bash prompt:
ssh-agent bash
ssh-add
allows me to do key based authentication.
The man page reads:
"The idea is that ssh-agent is started in the beginning of an X-session or a login session, and all other windows or pro� grams are started as clients to the ssh-agent program."
It must be possible to do this I just need to know how.
