My experiences are as follows: Ubuntu 9.04 Logged into GNOME as a user copy existing id_rsa file to ~/.ssh/ and do a chmod 700 on it. (Keyfile being used here is 4096 bit RSA) open terminal and issue the following: $ ssh-add Returns: "Enter passphrase for /home/<me>/.ssh/id_rsa:" (or something to that effect) I enter the proper passphrase, then issue: $ ssh r...@192.168.0.1 I am then prompted for the passphrase to open /home/<me>/.ssh/id_rsa again. Every time.
In the past, issuing ssh-add meant the key's passphrase would no longer be required for that session (That's how it worked in Debian Etch). In Ubuntu 8.10, I actually never needed to issue ssh-add... the gnome password manager just asked for it the first time and that's it. I don't know much more about it or what more logs I can pull, but if somebody would post the locations of any applicable logs I would be happy to post them. Also, in case it is relevant, I upgraded to 9.04 from an existing 8.10 system, so I don't know if this occurs on new builds, but it definitely occurs after an upgrade. Also I've tried this as multiple users and have the same results.
