Only sub-shells will inherit them. If you start a second SSH session to the remote host, it will not inherit these variables from the first session. For this reason, I've written a set of zsh scripts (only work if the shell is zsh -- this is what I use), to be able to reuse the same ssh-agent in any shell: http://www.vinc17.org/unix/index.en.html#zsh-ssh-utils -- Vincent Lefèvre <vinc...@vinc17.org> - Web: <http://www.vinc17.org/> 100% accessible validated (X)HTML - Blog: <http://www.vinc17.org/blog/> Work: CR INRIA - computer arithmetic / Arenaire project (LIP, ENS-Lyon) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
