Subject: how to make ssh-agent automatically
Date: Wed, 30 Nov 2005 17:56:21 -0500
Hi,
I yesterday installed a bare minimum Cygwin (via internet) on to a
laptop running Windows XP. The purpose of the Cygwin installation is to
backup data on to a Linux computer using rsync and ssh.
I was wondering, to allow for passwordless login via ssh I have to run
ssh-agent and ssh-add commands. I have put ssh-agent in .bashrc in
Cygwin user's home and "kill $SSH_AGENT_PID" in .bash_logout. But how do
I deal with ssh-add? In other words, what do I need to do so that a user
doesn't need to do ssh-add each time he logins into his account in
Windows XP (ssh-agent and ssh-add run automatically)? There is no X
server installed, no Gnome, no KDM, no fvwm.
All help is appreciated.
thanks,
->HS
