reuse kdm password for ssh-agent
Hi all,
I know one can customize the way a kde session is started so as all the applications of this session are children of a ssh-agent process. But it still requires to use ssh-add explicitly to add a key in the ssh-agent.
What I would like to know is wether it would be possible for kdm to not only start a ssh-agent as the father of all the processes of a given session but also to register the user's private keys based on the password typed by the user in kdm.
This way, when the user logs in, all its unprotected private keys are automatically loaded in ssh-agent and all its private keys protected by the same password as the password typed in kdm are also automatically loaded.
Thank you.
Assuming that your system uses PAM for the athentification, you could check if there is a PAM module for doing that.

Thank you very much for your answer, I didn't though of PAM.
pam-ssh is just what I want, see :

Simple and works great for me,
Pascal.
