Hello list
I am attempting to manage my key logins with ssh-agent. However EVERY time I try to ssh I have to go through the same exact routing and it's getting a little old...
[bluethundr@LCENT01:~]#ssh sum3 Enter passphrase for key '/home/bluethundr/.ssh/id_rsa':
[bluethundr@LCENT01:~]#exec ssh-agent bash [bluethundr@LCENT01:~]#ssh-add Enter passphrase for /home/bluethundr/.ssh/id_rsa: Identity added: /home/bluethundr/.ssh/id_rsa (/home/bluethundr/.ssh/id_rsa) [bluethundr@LCENT01:~]#ssh sum3 Last login: Sun Nov 28 14:32:34 2010 from localhost.localdomain ######################################################### # SUMMITNJHOME.COM # # TITLE: LCENT03 BOX # # LOCATION: SUMMIT BASEMENT # # # ######################################################### [bluethundr@LCENT03:~]#
Does anyone have any suggestions to make ssh-agent hold these values a bit more persistently?
I'm not sure if this will help, but I use the "keychain" package from RPMForge, and it takes most of the pain out of dealing with SSH keys.
thanks!!
