Thanks.
That made it possible for me to ssh from SuSE server to FreeBSD server, but now
when I ssh from my Mac to SuSE server it wants a password now:
Enter passphrase for /home/myusername/.ssh/id_rsa:
I read the FreeBSD handbook section "14.11.7 ssh-agent and ssh-add" and don't
have anything much more intelligent to say but "I don't understand". ;)
Questions:
1. If the ssh-agent and ssh-add utilities load the keys into memory, they'd
be wiped if I rebooted?
2. Is #1 why I'd add it to my ~/.profile?
3. How am I able to ssh (without a password) from my Mac to SuSE server or
Mac to FreeBSD server when I don't have
"eval `ssh-agent`" and "ssh-add" in my .profile on my Mac?
