While Kai is right, I can feel your pain. First ssh-agent uses passphrases, I don't know if this works with passwords. Here's how I start ssh-agent from a bash prompt... exec ssh-agent $SHELL ...this replaces your current bash session with the ssh-agent which in turn spawns(?) a bash shell. Everything that is run from this new shell have the benefit of not needing a passphrase. But before that you need to run 'ssh-add' and enter the passphrase once. Then you can, for example, run 'startx &' to start a GUI that needs no passphrases. Here's the FAQ... great place to start. Hope this helps. http://www.employees.org/~satch/ssh/faq/ssh-faq-1.html Richard V. Molen Warning!! Signature under construction, safety glasses required.
