Is this kind of a safety measure? Isn't it simpler to activate ssh-agent on login so I can auto use ssh connections. Why is it better to always go through this ruleset? If not, where do I activate it on login? In my (login) .profile or my (shell)rc i.e. .tcsh Secondly: does a user really need a passphrase? Root? Sure!
