Hi,

I'm running FreeBSD stable on my notebook. I use the X-Environment and
log in graphically with xdm. I connect very often to remote machines
with ssh, so I decided to use publickey authentication
and ssh-agent/ssh-add (my private keys are protected with passphrases).

My .xsession looks like:

[vkinderm@argus vkinderm]$ cat .xsession
exec /usr/bin/ssh-agent /usr/X11R6/bin/fluxbox

After logging in, I start a xterm and run ssh-add to add my keys to the
agent.

Now I'm looking for a way to have ssh-add automatically started after
login. OpenBSD does it. I've already copied all of the OpenBSD
xdm-files to my FreeBSD box but no success.

Has anybody managed to get this started?

Thanks a lot
 -volker
