Choice of tool is a separate issue :) This is a "promiscuous" system, i.e I will take it with me all around the world and plug it into all sorts of machines. As such, I need support for all sorts of mobile phones, 3G modems, ADSL and VPN. I myself have a Motorola ROKR E8, Huawei E220, Huawei <somethingelseidontremember>, and currently in foreign land connected to a very unreliable burst-mode ADSL. NetworkManager + NetworkManager Applet is the only combination of tools that has passed my tests for this. > For unlocking ssh keys at login I use pam_ssh which ask for the ssh key > password at login time and fires up ssh-agent after that. Ahh, thanks. Actually, I skipped that from the start because I didn't want any prompts before the WM started, and it didn't occur to that it'd work since there's no normal login prompt with this setup (root auto-logs-in for user). I guess I'll stick to X11-ssh-askpass. -- GPG/PGP ID: B42DDCAD
