Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Subject: ssh-agent and .sgisession (I saw someone post a solution, lost it) Sender: owner-ssh@clinet.fi Precedence: bulk Recently, someone posted the following suggestion for allowing an SGI window session to make use of ssh-agent: --- [ ~/.sgisession ] exec /usr/local/bin/ssh-agent /Net/babylon/usr/people/ryan/.sgisession-real [ ~/.sgisession-real ] /usr/local/bin/unclutter & /usr/sbin/winterm /usr/local/plan& --- So I did the same thing: rfrancis@cap(6):more .sgisession exec /usr/local/bin/ssh-agent /usr/people/rfrancis/.sgisession-real --- rfrancis@cap(7):more .sgisession-real /usr/bin/X11/xhost - rfrancis@cap(8): So now when I login, the xhost - happens, but there is no ssh-agent running. If I just invoke 'ssh-agent /bin/shell', in an xterm works just fine. So there's no sign of an ssh-agent dying, but there's also no sign of it running: rfrancis@cap(19):ps -ef|fgrep ssh-agent rfrancis@cap(20): If anyone could offer any possible thoughts on the matter, it'd be much appreciated. Thanks, -rob rfrancis@dti.net
