If you are on Mac OS X then there is a program called SSHKeychain. I  
believe that this program supports this option. It would be worth

Okay again. I am interested to know how you get it working.

You may find that the hard linking may be quite complex. However, if  
you work out how to achieve this then I would be most interested.

Keep in touch. Good luck.
