ssh agent with loaded key shared across multiple terminal windows
I wonder how is it safe if I open terminal and add a key using ssh-add private-key-file, and all my other terminals share the same key loaded if I check with ssh-add -l. I'm afraid what if I download some nasty nodejs app or an angular app. So, is it possible to change the behaviour that opened terminal window doesn't start agent.
I want to start it manually or if I need I'd like to join existing agent session. How do I do this?
Is is possible that a nodejs app which I start may use a loaded agent key?
ssh nodejs ssh-agent
