> I don't run ssh-agent for command line logins, but I do run it under X, and s
imply alias 'startx' to 'ssh-agent startx'. If you then use ssh to login every
where, the agent will automatically propagate. This is the most reliable metho
d I have found so far.

I'm now testing placing ssh-agent in my .xsession (in the exec line) and
that should do fine for X ssh purposes, but the console will have to do
without automatic ssh-agent, I guess...
