Ss 0:00 /usr/bin/seahorse-agent As you see above, there is one ssh-agent (probably started by .xsession), and three instances of seahorse-agent, interfering with one another. Till I killed some of them at random I was unable to ssh out. I guess only one of them should be running, and I submit as a bug that they are started by something/somewhere unknown. The end result is that ssh passwords are not cached. cer@nimrodel:~> less .xsession cer@nimrodel:~> set | grep SSH_ SSH_AGENT_PID=5615 SSH_ASKPASS=/usr/lib/ssh/x11-ssh-askpass SSH_AUTH_SOCK=/tmp/ssh-cBjhK5570/agent.5570 Further, I believe they are not all of them killed on session close: I have to open a text terminal and check what processes are still running as the user that exited, and kill them manually, every time (several programs/daemons). -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
