Public bug reported:
I ssh to lots of different servers. On some servers I use password
authentication. On some servers I use server:~/.ssh/authorized_keys and
RSA keypairs to login. For obvious reasons my private key stored in
~/.ssh/id_rsa is protected with a passphrase.
This all used to work fine until I moved to Ubuntu and Gnome.
But now if I log in and then immediately use the ssh command line
program to ssh somewhere. This causes Ubuntu to pop up an annoying
password asking dialog box to unlock ~/.ssh/id_rsa even when I am sshing
to a server which doesn't have a authorized_keys file and I intend to
use password authentication with. The previous behavior, of not asking
for a password unnecessarily, which the ssh command line program use to
do with Openbox on my last Linux install was much nicer.
Could you not ask for passwords when they aren't necessary. Thanks.
Please fix.
