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? ________________________________________________________________ FreeBSD - The Power To Serve http://www.freebsd.org My Webpage http://ukug.uk.freebsd.org/~mark/ mailto:mark@ukug.uk.freebsd.org http://www.radan.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
