After you start up ssh-agent once, check env for
SSH_AUTH_SOCK
If you start a new session and the old ssh-agent is still running,
try setting SSH_AUTH_SOCK.
I think there are more refined utilities out there to handle this
situation...

Subject: [OMPI users] password-less ssh
This is with regards to http://www.open-mpi.org/faq/?category=rsh#ssh-keys
It says to check if you have an ssh-agent running. How are you supposed to
do that? I've tried "ps -u myusername | grep ssh-agent", but didn't know if
that's the proper thing to do.
Also, it appears that I do *NOT* have an ssh-agent running automatically for
me. How often do I have to start one up? It appears that if I start one up
and log out and then log back in again, the old ssh-agent is still there but
not usable. I have to start up a new one. So, do I have to start an
ssh-agent each time I log in?
Or, I could use no DSA passphrase, but that seems to be frowned upon.
