Suddenly after an dist-upgrade ssh stopped asking for confirmation when using a ssh key stored with ssh-agent. It looks like this happended at the same time ssh-agent was replaced by gnome-keyring-daemon. It looks like to me that gnome-keyring doesn't respct when I add ssh-keys with 'ssh-add -c'. I consider this a security related bug as I expect confirmation when I have asked for it, hence the severity.
forwarded 475502 http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=525574 thanks Hi, Thanks for the bug report. It looks like upstream is already aware of this problem: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=525574
severity 475502 important thanks I’m downgrading this severity since it is easily possible to deactivate the SSH agent of gnome-keyring by unchecking the /apps/gnome-keyring/daemon-components/ssh gconf setting, for those who want the "ssh-add -c" functionality. Cheers,
