OpenBSD does it. I've already copied all of the OpenBSD > xdm-files to my FreeBSD box but no success. First install the openssh-askpass port. Then select a way to fire up ssh-add during login. If you can't convince your window manager to do it for you, you can for example change your .xsession to: #!/bin/sh eval `/usr/bin/ssh-agent` trap '/usr/bin/ssh-agent -k' 0 1 2 3 15 /usr/bin/ssh-add .ssh/id_rsa & /usr/X11R6/bin/fluxbox $.02, /Mikko To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
