[KLUG Members] ldap102 presentation

[Dirk H Bartley]

The ssh-agent is the passphrase keeper.  If you want you can make it
persistent, for instance the way I have an agent in the background start
in rc.local and then source:

in rc.local
# start an agent for root
ssh-agent > /root/.ssh/agent-info
echo "You rebooted, you must ssh-add on this host" | sendmail
dbartley at schupan.com

in any cron job
source ~/.ssh/agent-info

Could work the same in bashrc as a cron job.  You still need to give the
agent the passphrase every time you reboot.
