Hey Chris,
First off thanks for your replies !
Second off I figured it out... let me show you what I was doing that
was wrong.. for future reference =)
---
In my local machine .profile I run this:
#A single respawning ssh-agent
if [ -f ~/.agent.env ]; then
. ~/.agent.env -s > /dev/null
if ! kill -0 $SSH_AGENT_PID > /dev/null 2>&1; then
echo
echo "Stale agent file found. Spawning new agent..."
eval `ssh-agent -s | tee ~/.agent.env`
ssh-add
fi
else
echo "Starting ssh-agent..."
eval `ssh-agent -s |tee ~/.agent.env`
ssh-add
fi
-----------------------------------------------------------
Now what I foolishly did, due to a misunderstanding of how ssh and
forwarding works.. was to add this to my .profile on the server as
well. This creates new agents... and does not forward the way I wanted
it to.
I remove this from the $home/.profile on the mounted drives and I get
the results that I wanted, no password prompt from any server that I
have keys stored on via the mounted directories.
The X11 forwarding error still exists but is not hindering anything. I
can go 3 or 4 servers out and ../$ xeyes and have it appear locally
without any command line sets of display variables...
THANKS FOR YOUR POSTS !
Trev..
