search for: ssh_agent

Hi, In a machine that I regularly use one console and remotely I have the line: eval `ssh-agent` In my .login, as per the ssh-agent(1) man page. Problem: when I log out, the ssh-agent process persists which is the correct behavior in some cases, but not in others. This means that periodically I have to kill off hundreds of ssh-agent processes as they are taking up a substantial amount of my

Most of my users are on kde, as am I (I really don't like gnome). I've got one on gnome, though, CentOS 6.4, and I have a problem: I have to start an agent running ->on login<-, so that the same one is in the environment of every term window he opens. In kde, no problem, I modify /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc-common so that code in there calls our (newer) ssh-agent instead of the stock one.

...about 4-5 minutes it will usually logout, although I have had it hang a couple of times (never logs out). When I do an ALT-TAB-F1, and log in as 'root', I can see the following processes still hanging around after Gnome finally does logout: /usr/libexec/gam_server /usr/bin/ssh_agent -s For every log in session I try, there is a copy of the 'ssh_agent' still hanging around after Gnome finally logs out. Could this be what's causing the problem? KDE logins will also cause these two programs to hang aroud, but it will usually logout in a timely fashion. Any help w...

On the other hand, fragile heuristics like: > export SSH_AUTH_SOCK=`ls /tmp/ssh-*/agent.$SSH_AUTH_PID` have no place in our documentation. ------- You are receiving this mail because: -...
