the right answer is ssh-agent

ssh-agent is right answer and this question was in lpic2-201(400)

ssh-agent. This was a question in my lpic exam and I passed with score 800. So, ssh-agent (E) is the right answer.

the right answer is ssh-agent

man: "ssh-agent is a program to hold private keys used for public key authentication (RSA, DSA). The idea is that ssh-agent is started in the beginning of an X-session or a login session, and all other windows or programs are started as clients to the ssh-agent program. Through use of environment variables the agent can be located and automatically used for authentication when logging in to other machines using ssh"

No ssh-keygen "preloads and manages existing SSH keys" - ssh-agent does

Ssh-agent it is E

It is E , keygen creates a pair pub and priv . so please change it

ssh-agent ist die richtige Antwort

ssh-agent

ssh-agent- commands preloads and manages existing SSH keys that are used for automatic authentication while logging in, it loads the key into memory i.e. if you have passphrase protecting a key instead of keep putting it in every time you try to connect to server, you only put it once and the ssh-agent will remember it for all subsequent logins

E for sure used for managing ssh keys for automatic subsquent auth

What does it even mean to preload SSH key?

E: ssh-agent

The question says preloads and manages. What does preload actually mean ? ssh -keygen - generates keys but does it manage the keys?, if so whats the purpose of having ssh-agent ? I would naturally choose ssh-agent with this question.

E: ssh-agent

ssh-agent is correct
