Point taken, but I had suggested to him that he put a "ssh-agent -k" in his ~/.logout for good housekeeping, thus killing the agent upon (any) logout. In anycase, the poster found a solution which tailor to his needs, and you're way is OK too, especialy if the sysadmin (in this case, you :) allows ssh-agents to be running in the background when users aren't logged in. Hmmm... agents running in the background... sounds like a job for that doom port which let's you shoot processes to kill them... -Paul.
