but my system does not use any graphical interface. So, i have to find a way
to run a bash session "aware of" ssh-agent. The previous tips from Anne is
ok, but when user disconnect their session, the sshagent process is not
killed. Now, i need to find a global config file equivalent of bash_logout
by this way i'll be able to set a command like "ssh-agent -k" to all my
users. Without editiing each ~/.bash_logout.
But if i don't find i will create a small script to add a line like this
automaticaly.

Happy new year :-D
