I have just checked the source for the daemon() function and the

deal with this?
I'm not running ssh as a daemon. What I do in order to ssh to another
computer from any other shell is to keep one shell open all the time
running the agent. This is accomplished via the startssh function.
Thanks, but that doesn't help since I (a) need to run ssh as a daemon
for forwarding ports, and as I said in my earlier post (b) I need to
enter a password interactively. The host in question does not accept
public key authentication.
