openssh unix dev - Feb 2001 - [Script] ssh-add dropping keys when xscreensaver blanks

The people at Debian were chuntering that it'd be a good idea for
xscreensaver to ask ssh-add to drop its keys when it blanked the
screen. Would the attached script (which does just that) be worth
adding to the contrib directory?

It would also be useful to give ssh-agent a facility to drop its
keys after some time of inactivity. How easy would this be to
implement?

Thanks,

You committed the capital crime of not attaching the script. Stand still,
a squad is on its way to you now.
