Recipe 17.9. Shutting Down ssh-agent Automatically at Logout
17.9.1 Problem
As a security measure, you would
like to ensure that any stray ssh-agent
processes are killed automatically when you log out.
17.9.2 Solution
Make this entry in your ~/.bash_logout file:
kill $SSH_AGENT_PID
17.9.3 Discussion
Don't do this if you're using
keychain, because the whole point of using
keychain is to be able to log in and out without
having to re-enter your passphrases.
If you don't have a
~/.bash_logout file, create one. There should be
a system-wide default logout file at
/etc/skel/.bash_logout to use as a model.
