One of the downsides listed when you don't use tmux is that you have to type your password for each terminal you open to the remote machine. Does no one use ssh-agent?
- Xeago 7y agoThis somewhat painfully breaks when reattaching as the socket from the shells environment could be defunct. Whereas the shell session outside has a different, totally fine agent in its environment. This was somewhat painful to explain to some engineers and I suck at explaining so I’ll gladly receive a good explanation for it (or a nice workaround?) :D
- gylterud 7y agoAre you talking about running ssh-agent on the server side? To further connect to some other machine? For that I use a file to save the name of the socket and PID, and restore this in my .profile.
- Arnavion 7y agoI assume it's referring to a password login, not an SSH key login.
