RE: Re: how to make ssh-agent automatically


You just want to connect from one host to another one. It's totally
sufficient to set up the key and copy the public part into authorized
keys on the remote host. I never used ssh-agent nor ssh-add and
passwordless logins to several hosts and Windows are hourly routine. Why
do you need them?
