Package: gnome-keyring Version: 2.28.2-1 Severity: normal Now that the gnome-keyring-daemon implements SSH agent functionality and also supports 'auto-destruct' of keys, it is possible to specify maximum lifetime of added identities (SSH keys). Unfortunately this can only be done with the 'ssh-add -t X' command, because gnome-keyring-ask that pops-up when the SSH agent is contacted does not prove an option to set the lifetime of a SSH identity.
The solution would be to add a checkbox and a textbox to the gnome-keyring-ask password dialog for entering the lifetime in seconds or at least having a gconf option to specify the default lifetime of added SSH identities. Additionally the password dialog could also contain a new button "Allow once" (now I have "Deny" and "OK"), that would be something like setting the lifetime to 0. -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers squeeze APT policy: (500, 'squeeze'), (500, 'testing'), (300, 'testing-proposed-updates'), (100, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.30-2-686 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages gnome-keyring depends on: ii dbus-x11 1.2.16-2 simple interprocess messaging syst ii gconf2 2.28.0-1 GNOME configuration database syste ii libc6 2.10.2-2 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libdbus-1-3 1.2.16-2 simple interprocess messaging syst ii libgconf2-4 2.28.0-1 GNOME configuration database syste ii libgcr0 2.28.2-1 Library for Crypto UI related task ii libgcrypt11 1.4.4-6 LGPL Crypto library - runtime libr ii libglib2.0-0 2.22.3-1 The GLib library of C routines ii libgp11-0 2.28.2-1 Glib wrapper library for PKCS#11 - ii libgtk2.0-0 2.18.3-1 The GTK+ graphical user interface ii libpango1.0-0 1.26.2-1 Layout and rendering of internatio ii libtasn1-3 2.3-1 Manage ASN.1 structures (runtime) Versions of packages gnome-keyring recommends: ii libpam-gnome-keyring 2.28.2-1 PAM module to unlock the GNOME key gnome-keyring suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
