Hi all, I get some problems using scp (ssh1) with authentication via the authetication agent mechanism on HP-UX 11. I have to distribute some files step by step from one machine to several others. 1. After approximately 10 scp processes the conncetion to the authetication agent breaks and the socket doesn't work for this session anymore. That means I have to log off and log on once again, to add my key passphrase and so on - not a very likely behaviour. 2. The authentication sockets in the /tmp-filessystem are not deleted after a ssh session. Should I delete them via a cron job?
