If you do, it makes the use of ssh-add much easier and global to all processes started in the session. I know this is not unusual, but I have never actually seen a recommendation to do it routinely. Is there any reason not to? R. Kevin Oberman, Network Engineer Energy Sciences Network (ESnet) Ernest O.
