Hi! I have the following added to root's .profile:
--snip-- env=~/.ssh/agent.env agent_load_env () { test -f "$env" && . "$env" >| /dev/null ; } agent_start () { (umask 077; ssh-agent >| "$env") . "$env" >| /dev/null ; } agent_load_env # agent_run_state: 0=agent running w/ key; 1=agent w/o key; 2= agent not running agent_run_state=$(ssh-add -l >| /dev/null 2>&1; echo $?) if [ ! "$SSH_AUTH_SOCK" ] || [ $agent_run_state = 2 ]; then agent_start ssh-add elif [ "$SSH_AUTH_SOCK" ] && [ $agent_run_state = 1 ]; then ssh-add fi unset env --snip-- OpenBSD 6.4 amd64. When I reboot the machine, it asks for my id_rsa password during system startup, which prevents most services from starting. Eventually all the password prompts time out and I am able to log in on the console, but most services including sshd have failed to start. The desired behaviour would be for the id_rsa password prompt to appear only when I am actually interactively logging in, and not during system boot. Is there any way I could achieve this for the root account? What am I doing wrong (apart from interactively logging in as root, I am well aware)?
