o.k.,

1) So does this mean that the description of ssh-agent -t option could
be amended as follows:<<
      With this option, a password will be asked at start-up. Once the 
      lifetime is reached <em>ssh-add -X</em> allows you to run for another 
      &quot;lifetime&quot; again.>>

2) I am using cygwin's openssh 3.5p1-3 and couldn't test it...
rhauser at PC:/<3>rhauser/Desktop> eval `ssh-agent -c -t 900`
ssh-agent: unknown option -- t
Usage: ssh-agent [options] [command [args ...]]
Options:
  -c          Generate C-shell commands on stdout.
  -s          Generate Bourne shell commands on stdout.
  -k          Kill the current agent.
  -d          Debug mode.
  -a socket   Bind agent socket to given name.

3) Any recommendations on SSH_ASKPASS for win2k/cygwin?
