And, for the bigger picture, why should it? If I'm logging off, there's no reason for it to keep running. Any sessions that required it are either established, or shut down.
That's one of the things it can do. If you don't like it, use some other option. I assume it can feed cron jobs and the like when you aren't logged in if you want - but I've always just made keys with no passphrase when I know the commands will be automated.
No passphrase? Then why use it?
At any rate, that's not going to happen here (or anywhere I've worked): even if I was willing to do that (which I'm not), none of my managers would have allowed it.
I use my passphrase every morning for the private key I use. But then, I log out at *home* every night, and the only living other creatures in my apt are the fish.... Paranoia about black bag jobs? Not for any good reason, but....
