See ssh-agent(1) for details. A good way of achieving this is to put the following in your .xsession: echo ' # Prompt for passphrase ssh-add </dev/null # Start a bunch of xterms and emacsen xterm -geometry +0-0 & emacs -geometry -0+0 & # Start your window manager exec fvwm2 ' | exec ssh-agent sh You may want to replace 'sh' on the last line with a suitable incarnation of your regular shell (e.g. 'zsh -l') to make sure your window manager inherits a correct environment (PATH etc.) DES -- Dag-Erling Smorgrav - des@flood.ping.uio.no To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-security" in the body of the message
