Hi all, I want to run ssh-agent and ssh-add to authenticate at the beginning of my X session. When I was using gnome (that's a whole other post :)) I had exec ssh-agent gnome-session in .xinitrc. I then used gnome's session startup to run ssh-add with priority 50. This all worked great. Since my reload I can no longer use gnome, so I am using wmaker. doing exec ssh-agent ssh-add wmaker doesn't work because ssh-add assumes that wmaker is the identity file to use. I have also tried exec ssh-agent ssh-add /home/waynep/.ssh/identity wmaker and exec ssh-agent ssh-add /home/waynep/.ssh/identity </dev/null wmaker but all of these fail. What is the best way to achieve what I am trying to do here?
