Betreff: [DNG] Could not open a connection to your authentication agent.
I've noticed that my ssh-agent process seems to stop working with 'ssh-add' after a few days
or so. Issuing 'ssh-add' from an xfce4-terminal results in the error message

"Could not open a connection to your authentication agent."

Why is this? There seems to be a myriad of ssh-agent processes running.
Is there a standard way to restart ssh-agent? I belive killing process
27850 will dump by Xsession from previous experience.
