[opensuse-kde] kde4: kdm and ssh-agent

Hi,

I installed openSUSE 11.0 with KDE4 on my x86_64 Computer and was surprised not to find a running ssh-agent. With my previous 10.3 installation I see a ssh-agent as a child process to kdm:

/opt/kde3/bin/kdm
\_ /usr/bin/Xorg -br -nolisten tcp :0 vt7 -auth
\_ -:0
\_ /bin/sh /usr/bin/kde LESSKEY=/etc/lesske
\_ /usr/bin/ssh-agent


Now on the new installation I have a gpg-agent sitting there instead of the ssh-agent.

First I thought that it just got changed, but a friend of mine has the same installation and he has a ssh-agent there.

What is the decision ssh-agent vs. gpg-agent based on?

I would prefer the ssh-agent, as I can have it handle my keys and I don't have to install keychain to do so.

Thanks for your help.

Cheers,

Guenter
