The next step is adding keys to the agent. Colin, what is the output of "ssh-add -l" ? Are you running Gnome? If so, you should get a prompt for the key(s) in ~/.ssh/id_[dr]sa at login. There is a little bit of information about this at: http://live.gnome.org/GnomeKeyring/Ssh I don't know what, if any, integration KDE has. In any case, you should still be able to use ssh-add to add keys to the agent manually. I used to do this on login with a little snippet in ~/.xsession (which also called "exec /usr/bin/gnome-session" at the end): # add ssh key(s) if [ -x /usr/bin/ssh-add ] && [ -f ~/.ssh/id_dsa -o -f ~/.ssh/id_rsa ]; then /usr/bin/ssh-add < /dev/null fi Then I'd just type the passphrase once to unlock my key(s) for that session. I eventually switched to pam_ssh as David mentioned, to get my keys unlocked automatically, but with F9 I no longer need that. -- Todd OpenPGP -> KeyID: 0xBEAF0CE3 | URL: www.pobox.com/~tmz/pgp ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Procrastination is the art of keeping up with yesterday. -- Don Marquis
