My bad. Please disregard my previous email. I apologise ! Your suggestion is great. What I didn't realise is that keychain is a great tool which resides in /usr/ports/security/keychain and it does this: "allowing you to easily have one long-running ssh-agent process per system, rather than per login session." as its web site states: http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/keychain/index.xml Thank you Clayton !
