Description of problem:
When starting ssh-agent with /etc/X11/prefdm modified to "exec
/usr/bin/ssh-agent `which [gkx]dm` ...", the ssh-agent isn't accessible to
ssh-add from an terminal window after logging in.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Modify /etc/X11/prefdm to "exec ssh-agent" the [gkx]dm as appropriate.
2.From any xterm-like command line client such as xterm, konsole, etc., run
"ssh-add"
3.ssh-add then fails with "Could not open a connection to your authentication
agent."
	

Actual Results:  ssh-add didn't find the ssh-agent.  ssh-agent is running as
verified by ps and a search for its socket.

Expected Results:  ssh-add should have prompted me for a password.

Additional info:

The socket that ssh-agent uses is created in /tmp/ssh-XXxxxxxx/agent.<pid> as
per the man page for ssh-agent.

Dropping to runlevel 3 allows me to run the ssh-add.

This was attempted as the root user.

Repeated attempts to get this going by bouncing back and forth between init 3
and init 5 have left orphaned socket files.  This may or may not be a security
issue.
