-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi all, also, if you are using gentoo, you can emerge and use the keychain program to do this as follows: emerge keychain Then use "man keychain" to find out how to set it up. This program will set up an ssh agent that is always running, so you only have to enter your passphrase for ssh one time, after your system has rebooted. This should also work on non-gentoo distributions as well. Go to http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/keychain.xml to find out more about it.
