You can't launch the windowing system from under ssh-agent if you use
dtlogin. Another option is to have your shell source an environment file as
part of it's init process. So:
in .bashrc (or equivilant):
if [ -f ~/.ssh/ssh-agent-env ]; then
source ~/.ssh/ssh-agent-env
if (kill -0 "${SSH_AGENT_PID}" 2>/dev/null); then
: # do nothing, ssh-agent is running (probably)
else
unset SSH_AGENT_PID
fi
fi
if [ -z "${SSH_AGENT_PID}" ]; then
ssh-agent -s >~/.ssh/ssh-agent-env
source ~/.ssh/ssh-agent-env
if [ -t 0 ]; then # Add keys if stdin is a tty
ssh-add
fi
fi
