Hello I have just upgraded to 9.3 and ive been really impressed so far, just a few bits to iron out now. In 9.2 I was able to run ssh-add and be asked for my passphrase for my key, once I put it in, I could open up konsoles to different servers without being asked for my key again. This seems to be broken now, as it only "remembers" the passphrase in the same konsole it was started in. Has anyone got this working properly? Any hints appreciated,
Sure you start the ssh-agent correctly? The environment variables (SSH_AGENT_PID and SSH_AUTH_SOCK) it outputs must be inherited in every shell where you want to use ssh.
ciao Arvin Hi Arvin, I think this is the problem... The agent is not being the parent of the other

In 9.2 I could put in my crontab: @reboot ssh-agent -s | grep -v echo > $HOME/.ssh-agent This worked fine, now i have 9.3 (I chose a new install rather than upgrade) it does not seem to work. I have started gpg-agent in a script in .kde/env/, maybe i should do the same with ssh-agent? I have had a look in /usr/share/doc/packages/openssh/README.SuSE, it says this: If you want to use ssh-agent under X windows, just edit the file .xsession in your home directory and change usessh="no" to usessh="yes". After logining in you only need to start ssh-add by hand, click or startup script. I have tried this also with no success. Thanks again, H
