According to ps, ssh-agent was running, and you can see from the trace
that the socket "file" was there. I had also seen it with ls.
I can't run netstat on it now, as I don't have access to that system
again until tomorrow morning. I will check that tomorrow and also use
Corinna's trick to get everything in one trace file.
Thanks for your help folks. Sorry I can't do more right away.
Cheers,
David
