Hey list On my CentOS machines I usually keep track of my rsa key with ssh-agent, ssh-add and keychain I would like to know a) how to install keychain under FreeBSD and b) how to fix this error: [bluethundr@LBSD2:~]#ssh sum1 Enter passphrase for key '/home/bluethundr/.ssh/id_rsa': [bluethundr@LBSD2:~]#exec ssh-agent bash [bluethundr@LBSD2:~]#ssh-add Could not open a connection to your authentication agent.a Whenever I try to ssh to another box on the network (with a homedir shared amongst all centos and FreeBSD machines) it prompts me for my passphrase. Usually on the CentOS boxes exec ssh-agent bash does the trick. Anyone have any idea why this isn't working on the FreeBSD box? thanks!! -- Here's my RSA Public key: gpg --keyserver pgp.mit.edu --recv-keys B6D6EAC3
