We just spend some time on #ubuntu-bugs triaging this one and this is
what we found out.
For some time the agent responsible for caching ssh passwords is Gnome
Keyring and dialog is displayed by gnome-keyring-prompt. Gnome Keyring,
as stated on its website supports both SSH v1 and SSH v2 protocols
I'd just like to add a "me too" comment. I have re-installed my Ubuntu,
copied my id_dsa into ~/.ssh. Its annoying that I no longer get the gui
prompt to enter my password which is then cached. I have to unlock my
key, every single time I go to log into a host with ssh.
This is definitely a bug
** Changed in: openssh (Ubuntu)
