I have a boss that wants to use a MacOS X box as his workstation. All our servers have been configured to allow connections via ssh V2 with DSA only key exchange. Now we can run the "ssh-agent tch" in a window and then run the "ssh-add ~/.ssh/id_dsa" to load the key and hey presto it all works and from that window he can ssh to his hearts content. On all my other Solaris and FreeBSD workstations it has been possible to configure the windows manager so that it runs the "ssh-agent -s" after the user enters his login and passwd and before loading the window manager and then run the ssh-add/ssh-askpass as a final part of the login to allow the user to load their key. I am sure that is all eminently possible under MacOS X, but I can find no details on how to do it while searching the web. I would be most appreciative for any pointers as to files to edit. Thanks for your time and again apologies for asking this question in a FreeBSD list.
