There are many ways to do this, here's one. ...From bash command line (after using ssh-keygen to generate either an RSA or a DSA passphrase)... exec ssh-agent $SHELL ssh-add ...ssh-add will prompt for the passphrase and save the key for ssh-agent. Now anything started from that shell will not need a password (nor passphrase) since the ssh-agent will pass the key automagically.... emacs & Hope this helps. -- Richard V. Molen Warning!!
