RE: Re: how to make ssh-agent automatically

You're right, I avoided the use of passphrases and carefully considered the loss of security imposed by that and thus I do not need ssh-agent... It's been so long ago, that I just forgot about those consequences... matthias H.S. wrote: Morche Matthias wrote: You just want to connect from

RE: Re: how to make ssh-agent automatically

Simpler than using keychain and ssh-agent, Hmm... did You ever try to just generate your key by ssh-keygen and then copy the public key ~/.ssh/id_dsa.pub eg to Your remote host into ~/.ssh/authorized_keys. Would You consider this to be simpler? matthias H.S. wrote: Hi Karl, Karl M wrote:
