Add SSH keys automatically to SSH-Agent
Raw
add-keys-automatically-to-SSH-agent.md

With the Mate desktop environment I faced the problem that SSH keys were not added automatically to my SSH-Agent/Keyring. This worked perfectly with XFCE, though. I just discovered that my ~/.ssh/config did not contain AddKeysToAgent (see man 5 ssh_config for options). After adding AddKeysToAgent=ask the keys are now added as expected.
