This isn't actually relevant to your just-resolved problem, but there's a nice
wrapper script for ssh-agent called keychain which is convenient in some cases.
 It lets you conveniently reuse an established ssh-agent between different
logons on the same machine, saving retyping of passphrases on machines you control.
