Hello, I'm trying to get public key authentication working on a client to server connection so i can drop passwords. I've got the keys in place and confirmed they are working. I'm now trying to set up ssh-agent, I read i can do it manually i was looking for a more automated method for users on login. This is not through a gui. Thanks. Dave.
