In local.freebsd.questions you write: >Hi all, >I want to run ssh-agent and ssh-add to authenticate at the beginning >of my X session. When I was using gnome (that's a whole other post :)) >I had >exec ssh-agent gnome-session >in .xinitrc. I then used gnome's session startup to run ssh-add with >priority 50. This all worked great. >Since my reload I can no longer use gnome, so I am using wmaker. >doing >exec ssh-agent ssh-add wmaker >doesn't work because ssh-add assumes that wmaker is the identity file >to use. I have also tried >exec ssh-agent ssh-add /home/waynep/.ssh/identity wmaker >and >exec ssh-agent ssh-add /home/waynep/.ssh/identity </dev/null wmaker >but all of these fail. >What is the best way to achieve what I am trying to do here? I don't know about the best way, but how about an .xinitrc with: eval `ssh-agent` trap 'ssh-agent -k' 0 1 2 3 15 ssh-add & $WM Works for me... $.02, /Mikko -- Mikko Työläjärvi_______________________________________mikko@rsasecurity.com RSA Security To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
