There are several problems with that. First, it should be done conditionally with some heuristics, because SSH_AUTH_SOCK could have been set in some other way, e.g. by a possible login shell (if X was started from the command line). Another problem is that "unset SSH_AUTH_SOCK" won't kill the agent, leaving a useless process. "eval `ssh-agent -k`" is probably the correct command. Also, in case of some future bug in ssh-agent, the X environment might no longer be started because ssh-agent is the controlling process instead of being a child of the session process; this makes the system more sensitive to failures. -- Vincent Lefèvre <vinc...@vinc17.net> - Web: <http://www.vinc17.net/> 100% accessible validated (X)HTML - Blog: <http://www.vinc17.net/blog/> Work: CR INRIA - computer arithmetic / AriC project (LIP, ENS-Lyon) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
