Linux System Administration
SSH - Secure Shell
SSH-Agent
We can use
ssh-agent
to handle authentication requests.
You enter the passphrase once at the beginning of the session.
This will last until we log out from the session.
If we log out from the session and then try to log back in, we will have to re-enter the passphrase.
In order to start
ssh-agent
, we need to pass along a shell as a parameter:
[mlevan@Hamming ~]$ ssh-agent bash
[mlevan@Hamming ~]$
This will return you to a normal looking prompt.
