ssh-agent setup



What's the recommend method to use ssh-agent?  I'm running, eh, rooted
(opposite of root-less?) and I have X11 startup when I log in which
means I don't see the normal OS X desktop, rather just my window
manager.

Googling I see two recommendations:

    http://www.sshkeychain.org/index.php
    http://www.phil.uu.nl/~xges/ssh/

Of course, I'd like to enter my key(s) at login and then have all
child xterms have the right environment.

I tried adding:

    eval ssh-agent
    ssh-add </dev/null &
    exec /sw/bin/icewm

and also tried:

    ssh-agent /sw/bin/icewm

to my .xinitrc.  But, I don't seem to have an ssh-askpass program
available.
