Hi,

I've been trying to figure out what's going on with ssh-agent on lubuntu
and was hoping somebody could give me a hint.

On a xenial fresh install, when lxde gets launched, I see the following:

spike 28549  0.0  0.0  11140   320 ?        Ss   08:48   0:00
/usr/bin/ssh-agent /usr/bin/dbus-launch --exit-with-session
/usr/bin/im-launch /usr/bin/lxsession -s Lubuntu -e LXDE
spike 28625  0.0  0.0  11140   320 ?        Ss   08:48   0:00
/usr/bin/ssh-agent -s

If I look in the lxsession log I see the following:

grep SSH .cache/lxsession/Lubuntu/run.log
SSH_AUTH_SOCK=/tmp/ssh-XxZe8EEeUbPf/agent.28621; export SSH_AUTH_SOCK;
SSH_AGENT_PID=28625; export SSH_AGENT_PID;

there's several strange things I can't explain:
1) there's a ssh-agent wrapping dbus I can't figure out how it's started
(PID 28549)
2) the session seems to be spawning its own (PID 28625).
3) in the session logs you can notice however that the SOCK references a
different PID, 28621, which does not exist, while the AGENT refers the
second pid.

does anybody know what's going on and how to clean this up? it seems there
should only be one ssh-agent running during the startup of lxsession/X and
that's it.

thanks,

Spike
