When i just start the ssh-agent i runs but doesnt export env-variables like
SSH_AUTH_SOCK and SSH_AGENT_PID
when i eval 'ssh-agent' it says it does export those but they aren't in when i printenv
and they ssh-agent don't work until i manually export those variables
I there a fix for this ??

Because it forks.

Try this in terminal shell
| Code: |
exec /usr/bin/ssh-agent $SHELL
echo $SSH_AGENT_PID
echo $SSH_AUTH_SOCK
|
It works, but it isn't a global setting!

| This may seep into the Desktop Forum topic range, but what's the "Gentoo way" of getting ssh-agent to run underneath the X session like it's supposed to? I figure there's gotta be a neat little setting somewhere so that I don't have to go hand-editing xinit scripts. |

That depends on how you start your X session.
If you use gdm, it should start by default, check out
/etc/X11/gdm/gnomerc.
If you run startx from your .bash_login, like I used to, you could
wrap ssh-agent around startx:
| Code: | if [ `tty` = "/dev/vc/1" ]; then
echo ""
echo "Starting X in 2 seconds (type Control-C to interrupt)"
sleep 2
echo ""
/usr/bin/ssh-agent -- startx > .Xoutput 2> .Xerrorlog
clear # get rid of annoying cursor rectangle
logout # logout after leaving windows system
fi
|
If you run startx from a command prompt, you can could add the agent
to your .xinitrc (which you said you didn't really want to do):
| Code: | | exec /usr/bin/ssh-agent -- /usr/bin/gnome-session |
--rtn |
