When you often use SSH, it could be interesting to generate private / public keys. By this way, you don't need to enter your passphrase anymore. However, you have to protect your private key with precaution. To protect this key, you can encrypt it with a passphrase. And with ssh-agent, ssh-add and your passphrase you can access to your remote accounts without anything else.
With this applet, you can decrypt your keys to use them (when you start your session for example) or encrypt them when you leave your computer. Finally you can know the state of your keys at any time (available or unavailable).
Sources : ksshadd_applet-0.0.1.tar.gz
Like other softwares, we begin by uncompress sources in a directory, go inside and launch the configuration script:
$ tar -xzvf ksshadd_applet-0.0.1.tar.gz
$ cd ksshadd_applet
$ ./configure
You can use the "--help" argument to knows all the available arguments. Note that it could be useful to specify the directory where KDE has been installed. For example, if KDE is located inside /usr, you should type:
$ ./configure --prefix=/usr
If the configuration is correctly finished, you have to compile sources and install the produced files:
$ make
$ su
If everything goes well, just click on the task bar with the right button of your mouse and choose Add -> Applet -> K ssh-add and just have fun with it :)
