Description Till Schäfer 2013-05-08 15:03:31 UTC

Code Listing 3.1: Preparing ssh-agent
$ ssh-agent

It is described, that this will start the agent and set some env-variables. This is not the case as long it is not started with the eval command:

$ eval `ssh-agent`

ssh-add and "ssh-agent -k" will  therefore fail.

It is also mentioned (after Listing 3.1) that this will automatically open ~/.ssh/id_dsa. This is not the case on my system. So this part needs to be removed

Reproducible: Always
