After you login in text mode run
$ ssh-agent `exec startx`
The dollar sign is the user prompt. Use backticks.
This makes the agent available to the entire user environment. Load your
keys and you're good to go.
~af
but my system does not use any graphical interface. So, i have to find a way to run a bash session "aware of" ssh-agent. The previous tips from Anne is ok, but when user disconnect their session, the sshagent process is not killed. Now, i need to find a global config file equivalent of bash_logout by this way i'll be able to set a command like "ssh-agent -k" to all my users. Without editiing each ~/.bash_logout.
But if i don't find i will create a small script to add a line like this automaticaly.
Happy new year :-D
