GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 524454
Loads only one ssh key on login
Last modified: 2008-04-06 14:11:00 UTC
It seems there is only one ssh key loaded after logging in: $ ssh-add -l 2048 86:d7:09:29:e9:70:07:2e:74:7c:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX (RSA) This is the key from ~/.ssh/id_rsa I do have another key though, named ~/.ssh/id_rsa_gnome, which I use for my Gnome account. This one is not loaded upon login, though it shows up in the seahorse UI. I used to symlink this additional file to ~/.ssh/id_dsa2 for obscure reasons (that it was loaded by default by libpam-ssh or something like that), but that doesn't have any effect either. The strange thing is this used to work before, but now I have to add it to the agent manually everytime I do a "svn up" for my favourite Gnome modules :)
The ssh-agent functionality is now a part of gnome-keyring. Moving bug.
Sorry about the lack of a GUI for this. It should be included in 2.24. However in the mean time here is documentation on how to make it work: http://live.gnome.org/GnomeKeyring/Ssh

I don't agree with the NOTABUG resolution of this bug report though, it should be OBSOLETE since the UI to address this issue will be in place for 2.24.
