Hi, I'm running FreeBSD stable on my notebook. I use the X-Environment and log in graphically with xdm. I connect very often to remote machines with ssh, so I decided to use publickey authentication and ssh-agent/ssh-add (my private keys are protected with passphrases). My .xsession looks like: [vkinderm@argus vkinderm]$ cat .xsession exec /usr/bin/ssh-agent /usr/X11R6/bin/fluxbox After logging in, I start a xterm and run ssh-add to add my keys to the agent. Now I'm looking for a way to have ssh-add automatically started after login. OpenBSD does it. I've already copied all of the OpenBSD xdm-files to my FreeBSD box but no success. Has anybody managed to get this started? Thanks a lot -volker -- Please don't cc me: I read the lists and don't need your message twice :-) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
