[Note:] ssh agent forwarding

[Mike Wright]

Hi all,

There was a thread on here recently about ssh agent forwarding.  Usually 
I start it like this:

<code>
ssh-agent
ssh-add
</code>

I came across a situation where I couldn't establish a connection to the 
agent when I tried to "ssh-add" my keys.  ssh-agent had been executed 
already. It had somehow become discombobulated.

The solution was to invoke ssh-agent differently:

<code>
eval `ssh-agent -s`
ssh-add
</code>

Hope that saves somebody else some headaches ;D
