And I have solved the issue. I was getting prompted for my user name. I assumed that indicated ssh-agent was not working. I entered my user name, and I'm logged in. I went to the configuration items and set "Auto-login username" to 'dan'. Now when I run putty, all I need to do is specify the hostname, and I'm logged in. [for those trying to find out how to do this, the hosts I logged into already have my public ssh key in their ~/.ssh/authorized_keys2 file] -- Dan Langille : http://www.langille.org/ BSDCan - The Technical BSD Conference - http://www.bsdcan.org/
