Description Ilya Konstantinov 2002-11-16 11:26:40 AEDT
ssh-add / ssh-agent should have an option to start counting private key expiry
time from the moment it was last time used. That way, one would only need to
re-enter the private key's password if he actually left the desk for a prolonged
time rather than once in constant period of time.
