As far as I know there is no mechanism to start ssh-agent
automatically. (Someone please correct me if I'm wrong.)
Personally I have the following snippet in my ~/.zshrc
which starts ssh-agents if it isn't already running.
It also works if the home directory is shared across
multiple machines.
if [[ $EUID -ne 0 ]]; then
AGENTFILE="${HOME}/.ssh-agent.${HOST%%.*}"
if [[ -r "$AGENTFILE" ]]; then
source "$AGENTFILE"
else
export SSH_AGENT_PID=$$
fi
if [[ -z "$SSH_AGENT_PID" ]] \
|| ! ps -p "$SSH_AGENT_PID" | grep -q ssh-agent; then
ssh-agent >! "$AGENTFILE"
source "$AGENTFILE"
fi
unset AGENTFILE
fi
Best regards
