 |
|
Hi everybody,
I have created my keys and am able to log in to my servers via the passphrase. I can also manually start ssh-agent, add my keys, and log in without a password via:
| Code: |
eval `ssh-agent`
ssh-add
|
I am, however, having problems editing .bash_profile and getting keychains set up. Things just don't happen in the way as the documentation suggests they should. Moreover, the two sets of docs I have found for gentoo are not very clear to me. So, could somebody point out what I need to do to get everything working? What basically happens is that keychains does not appear to start as it should when it should.
Best,
Alex |

The solution turned out to be fairly simple and that was to place the keychain activation commands in .bashrc and not .bash_profile. I suspect I was forgetting something in the latter. All seems to be going okay now.
Best,
