SSH - Secure Shell

SSH-Add

Next we need to run ssh-add.

This will load all of the keys in the ~/.ssh directory.

            [mlevan@Hamming ~]$ ssh-add
            Enter passphrase for /home/mlevan/.ssh/id_rsa:
            Identity added: /home/mlevan/.ssh/id_rsa (/home/mlevan/.ssh/id_rsa)
            [mlevan@Hamming ~]$

We can now log into any of the SSH hosts without entering a passphrase.

            [mlevan@Hamming ~]$ ssh mlevan@12.222.238.XXX
            Last login: Mon May 16 22:59:35 2005 from 198.94.186.XXX
            [mlevan@HomePC ~]$

To shut down ssh-agent, simply exit out of the ssh-agent shell.
