(Please CC me in replies, I'm not on the list) Hey folks, I've observed an issue with the storing of passphrases for SSH keys. From within Seahorse, when I right-click an SSH key and pick "Configure Key for Secure Shell" option and enter some hostname, I get a prompt for the passphrase for that particular key (If I didn't unlock it before). Now, when I enter a passphrase and check "Automatically unlock this keyring whenever I'm logged in", the key gets unlocked, but the passphrase does not get stored in my login keyring as I would expect. When I complete the process, lock the key again with "ssh-add -D" and connect to that particular host with ssh, I get the same passphrase prompt again. If I now check the same checkbox, the passphrase does get stored normally. I've already tried restarting seahorse after entering my passphrase to rule out a cache / display issue. I'm not exactly sure if this is a gnome-keyring issue (I think the dialog is from gnome-keyring) or a seahorse issue (since it only seems to occur when the dialog is triggered from seahorse), but I got the idea that those projects are tied pretty closely anyway. All of this is using version 2.30.1, but looking at the changelogs for recent (development) releases suggests nothing related was changed since then. Can others confirm this behaviour? Gr. Matthijs
