Hi,
For now, when I want to use ssh-agent, i have to open a shell, and then use
this command 'ssh-agent /bin/bash' to be able to use the ssh-agent
fonctionnality.
I would like to know if there is a tip to start ssh-agent at user login.
Like editing /etc/passwd an adding in the "shell field" /usr/bin/ssh-agent
/bin/bash like that :
***/etc/passwd***
user:x:500:500::/home/user:/usr/bin/ssh-agent /bin/bash
And by the way avoiding multi nested bash execution, avoid user to type this
command or multiple edit/modify of .bashrc of all my users.
thanks for your help.

Boot the system in Run Level 3.
After you login in text mode run
$ ssh-agent `exec startx`
The dollar sign is the user prompt. Use backticks.
This makes the agent available to the entire user environment. Load your
keys and you're good to go.
