Instead of execing bash eval for ssh-agent. Kevin Buettner suggested that to me sometime ago and it rocks. Also see his find-agent that he posted a link to. His previous post shows how to eval for both ssh-agent and his find-agent. I believe he runs true ssh because his find-agent doesn't work for me. I fixed it, however :). The /tmp files he's grepping for have a different format under OpenSSH. Easy fix. ciao, der.hans -- # der.hans@LuftHans.com home.pages.de/~lufthans/ www.Opnix.com # I chose to use the kernel sources as my documentation. ;-) -- Kevin Buettner
