Hi,
I've been using passwordless ssh connections in X with ssh-agent for months, but now ssh-agent doesn't start with X as before. In my initial configuration I asked the X server to use ssh-agent (with the line "use-ssh-agent" in /etc/X11/Xsession.options), then I installed the ssh-askpass-fullscreen package and finally I placed a symlink to ssh-add in ~/.kde/Autostart. It has worked until now, as soon as KDE started I was prompted the passphrase only once.
Now, I don't know why, in a xterm ssh-add complains that it "Could not open a connection to your authentication agent". It seems that ssh-agent hasn't been launched:
# ps ax | grep ssh 1091 ? Ss 0:00 /usr/sbin/sshd 1736 pts/2 S+ 0:00 grep ssh
Any hints ?
The only change I can remember of is an update to the last Debian unstable after one month of computer inactivity (about 400 Mb download of packages).
Regards, Jose M. Rus.
