Hi all, I've been using keychain and ssh-agent for years, but it somehow has become flaky on F15. I have this in .bash_profile: keychain ~/.ssh/id_dsa . ~/.keychain/${HOSTNAME}-sh Normally this works fine, except when ssh-agent randomly seems to die, like this: [root@server2 ~]# su -

As detailed in another thread, we upgraded a few test machines on our LAN to Fedora 15 (with gnome-shell and firefox), with user folders served from a NFSv4 server (F14 originally, then F15). It just didn't work. The F15 desktops would freeze frequently. And worse, this would freeze ALL
