openssh-clients-5.9p1-alt7 in SimplyLinux 7.0.4 I've installed SimplyLinux 7.0.1 (x86_64), and I'm using the default DE. I have a password-protected SSH key. On login, I'm asked the password (by the GUI dialog). Then, whenever I do ssh, I'm asked the password again by the GUI dialog. But I'm not authenticated then! (This is the problem!) Something is wrong with ssh-agent and ssh-askpass in the default DE. If I invoke them manually, there are no problems: [imz@z ~]$ killall ssh-agent [imz@z ~]$ ssh-agent -u -d & [1] 3164 [imz@z ~]$ SSH_AUTH_SOCK=/home/imz/.ssh/agent; export SSH_AUTH_SOCK; echo Agent pid 3164; [imz@z ~]$ ssh-add </dev/null debug1: type 17 Identity added: /home/imz/.ssh/id_rsa (/home/imz/.ssh/id_rsa) [imz@z ~]$ debug1: XXX shrink: 3 < 4 [imz@z ~]$ ssh vaio debug1: type 11 debug1: type 13 debug1: XXX shrink: 3 < 4 Last login: Tue Nov 18 12:44:25 2014 from 81.200.29.43 [imz@localhost ~]$ logout [3;J Connection to ob.qwerty closed. [imz@z ~]$
This is how it fails to use the key (after the correct password was entered in the GUI, 2 times: on DE login, and when doing ssh).

If I run ssh-add in terminal in this case, it works: [imz@z ~]$ ssh vaio Agent admitted failure to sign using the key. ssh: Permission denied (publickey).
