Hi
Slightly off-topic !!
I'm using F8 x86-64 kdm/kde
I have been putting a 3 line script in /etc/kde/env to get ssh-agent working
To enable ssh-agent then create the file /etc/kde/env/ssh_agent_enable.sh
#!/bin/sh
eval `ssh-agent`
/usr/bin/ssh-add
Is this wrong ?
How should I have been doing it ????
