next in thread | raw e-mail | index | archive | help
I've read the manpages for ssh-agent(1) and ssh-add(1) but require
clarification on a couple of points.
Is adding:
eval `ssh-agent`
ssh-add
to ~/.login {a,the} correct way to start it?
If I login (as the same user) on more than one ttyv do I need to run
an ssh-agent on each login?
If not, should the commands in ~/.login be:
if (! $SSH_AGENT_PID ) then
eval `ssh-agent`
ssh-add
fi
TIA

If I buy a copy of WinDelete, and it doesn't delete Windows,
am I entitled to my money back?
