Keeping your shell connected to an agent

  Cool, sounds a lot like https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Keychain https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Keychain, although probably a bit smaller.

  If you're using gpg for key management, is there any reason to ever use the ssh-agent rather than the gpg-agent?
  • p4bl0 12y ago
    I was wondering the same thing, I use gpg-agent for both and it works perfectly well for me, and it seems to be the same for the author of the linked post.

  1. Write a systemd service, name it e.g. mygpg.service and put it in ~/.config/systemd/user/mygpg.service 2. systemctl --user --enable mygpg 3. never write yet another race-prone startup script in your life

    The author is a FreeBSD user[1], so doesn't have access to systemd. 1: http://kouk.surukle.me/2013/11/06/my-linux-os-history/ http://kouk.surukle.me/2013/11/06/my-linux-os-history/

  I wrote this https://github.com/r4um/ssh-authsock-hack https://github.com/r4um/ssh-authsock-hack to tackle these kind of problems. Uses LD_PRELOAD functionality to dynamically set the SSH_AUTH_SOCK environment variable.
