Look at ssh-agent and ssh-add. eval `ssh-agent` ssh-add Note back-quotes. This will start up persistent ssh-agent process. ssh-add will prompt for passphrase and add key. You need to kill ssh-agent manually, it will outlast session, IIRC. There is a way to have ssh-agent start a new sub-shell and terminate when sub-shell exits. You can add other keys besides default (RSA key in ~/.ssh) by file name. HTH, Jeffrey -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
