Bug 436035

Same issue under Fedora 9.

Expected Result;
Attempting to ssh to a host returns the seahorse passphrase window

Actual result;
Attempting to ssh to a host produces;

Jul 14 19:51:48 nx6320 seahorse-agent[2748]: Failed to send buffer
Jul 14 19:51:48 nx6320 seahorse-agent[2748]: Failed to send buffer

in /var/log/messages. I don't get any prompt for a passphrase from
seahorse-agent. Restarting avahi-daemon also returns;

Jul 14 20:00:27 nx6320 seahorse-agent[2882]: failure communicating with to
avahi: Daemon connection failed
Jul 14 20:00:27 nx6320 seahorse-agent[2748]: failure communicating with to
avahi: Daemon connection failed

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
seahorse-2.22.2-1.fc9.i386

Ok, further testing has found the following;

I had a key in my ~/.ssh called id_rsa.1 (as a result of creating a second key).
This key had been picked up by seahorse, but was not being used. Once I moved
the key to id_rsa, I was prompted for a passphrase and this has been cached
since I provided a passphrase. I do not know if the solution of importing this
key into seahorse would have mitigated the problem.

This worked fine in seahorse under Fedora 8. 

So, a suitable test case from my point of view is;

move a rsa private key file from id_rsa to id_rsa.1, then try to ssh to a host
with the public part of the key in authorized hosts.

This message is a reminder that Fedora 8 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 8.  It is Fedora's policy to close all
bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.  At that time
this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 
'version' of '8'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 8's end of life.

Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that 
we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 8 is end of life.  If you 
would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it 
against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this 
bug to the applicable version.  If you are unable to change the version, 
please add a comment here and someone will do it for you.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events.  Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.

The process we are following is described here: 
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping

Fedora 8 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2009-01-07. Fedora 8 is 
no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further 
security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of 
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
