I'll have a look at gnometelnet and ssh-gui later. Thanks. FWIW, I managed to get putty to use ssh-agent: 1 - Under connection, supply an auto-login username. 2 - under Connection SSH Auth, supply the public key file name. Then you get this: Using username "dan". Unable to use key file "/home/dan/.ssh/id_dsa" (OpenSSH SSH2 private key) Authenticating with public key "/home/dan/.ssh/id_dsa" from agent Presumably, the "unable to use key" line is because there is a passphrase on the key. -- Dan Langille : http://www.langille.org/
