I use public key authentication for ssh on my Linux machines. On my main Linux PC, when I log into GNOME I have a session manager set up, so that it puts up a dialogue box asking for my SSH passphrase and loads it into ssh-agent. Is there a session manager in DSL, and would it be possible to add one to DSL if not?

Also, if I try to run ssh-add, it tells me it "could not open a connection to your authentication agent". I don't use ssh-agent 'manually' much, so is there anything I'm doing wrong?

Many thanks,
Tim
