disable ssh-agent on boot

off220 · 2011-03-14 19:08:20

hello, I'd like to know how to disable ssh agent since I don't use it. It's a kde dependancy so it cannot be removed. So is there a way to make it not start on boot?

do you mean the sshd daemon?

if so, see if you have it listed in the DAEMONS array. If so, block it.

Assuming you are using KDE, ssh-agent is started by KDE's startup mechanism. I cannot point you to the exact setting, but I am sure there is a corresponding configuration dialog (startup and/or key management).

Yea, that's what I'm talking about. There should be settings somewhere..

Wiki reads:

You can add this to /etc/profile so that it will be run whenever you open a session:
# echo 'eval `ssh-agent`' >> /etc/profile

-- which means you should probably look there and comment the correct line.
