screen and ssh_agent

1) start Screen
2) start ssh-agent typing this: ssh-agent >> ~/.zshrc
3) source the appended to .zshrc file source ~/.zshrc
4) type in the ssh-key using ssh-add ssh-add

now the key is loaded into the screen envrionment's session variables
and as long as you source the dot file every time you login you will
no longer have to type password to ssh around
