By running "ssh-add" after "ssh-agent bash"? BTW, I use this in my .tcshrc so that I always have an ssh-agent running: if (! $?SSH_AUTH_SOCK) then rm -f /tmp/ssh_agent.* >&/dev/null exec ssh-agent tcsh endif It is a bit dangerous, because the name of that environment variable has already changed once, which resulted in an endless loop, but I still like it :-) -- The idea is that the first face shown to people is one they can readily accept - a more traditional logo.
