Description of problem: After upgrading to Fedora 9, running ssh under KDE results in it popping up a window prompting for the key passphrase every time. Entering the correct passphrase does not dismiss the dialog box; it just make it come right back. Running ssh-add does *not* prevent the dialog boxes, but hitting Dismiss twice without entering anything make it pick up the ssh-agent. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): openssh-5.0p1-3.fc9.x86_64 How reproducible: Every time Steps to Reproduce: 1. Log into KDE 2. ssh-add 3. ssh host Actual results: Expected results: Additional info:
What prints 'ps -p $SSH_AGENT_PID uww'?
USER PID %CPU %MEM VSZ RSS TTY STAT START TIME COMMAND hpa 2727 0.0 0.0 49872 740 ? Ss Jun30 0:00 /usr/bin/ssh-agent /bin/sh -c exec -l /bin/tcsh -c "/usr/bin/startkde"
Note that dismissing the dialog boxes twice with "Deny" make it eventually access the key through the agent.
Does the dialog box you have to dismiss look the same as the dialog box which appears on 'ssh-add </dev/null' ? If not, then the dialog box is from different package than ssh. I suppose it is from gnome-keyring. What prints echo $SSH_AUTH_SOCK and echo $SSH_ASKPASS?
The dialog box does look different than ssh-add < /dev/null. SSH_AUTH_SOCK=/tmp/keyring-Swi8gb/ssh SSH_ASKPASS=/usr/libexe/openssh/gnome-ssh-askpass Unsetting SSH_ASKPASS does not change the behaviour. Changing SSH_AUTH_SOCK to /tmp/ssh-iTlPIq2708/agent.2708 and re-running ssh-add does make it behave "sanely."
This seems to work now; I presume gnome-keyring was fixed?
What version of gnome-keyring did you have before? There were some upstream fixes in 2.22.3 (July 1st).
This message is a reminder that Fedora 9 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 9. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.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 '9'. 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 9'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 9 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 9 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2009-07-10. Fedora 9 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.
