One problem is e.g. using multiple keys (typically one per server) - servers usually have some limit how many times key authentication can be tried. Hence when the agent program doesn't supply the correct key fast enough login fails. In some cases this might lead to user entering correct password(s) (to unlock the key(s) in agent) and still being denied the remote service. That would be very disappointing experience (for both the user and administrator debugging the problem). -- 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.
