Sorry to bother you, but is there anything else you > did besides install this RPM and "touch ~/.keychainrc" ?? Yeah, I finally gave it a shot yesterday morning, and I experienced the same problem. I read the man page, and as far as I can tell, I'm using Keychain correctly. It should be caching the passphrase, but it isn't. I went back to the thread I originally started about this, and in one of Alexander's replies, he mentions a keychain.sh file in /etc/profile.d. Fire up that file: you'll find that a ~/.keychainrc file is sourced. In ~/.keychainrc, type your keychain config from ~/.bash_profile, minus the part concerning the ~/.keychain dir setup. For example, I have this in ~/.keychainrc: keychain id_dsa Now when I login and fire up a Gnome Terminal, Keychain starts, detects a running ssh-agent and the cached key. I can then login without being prompted for the passphrase, just as before. Give that a try: it should work. Regards, Ranbir -- Kanwar Ranbir Sandhu Systems Aligned Inc. www.systemsaligned.com
