Comment 13 for bug 1431305

Now I've run backtime --pw-cache stop after killing the UI.
Without doing anything else, I now find my /var/log/syslog flooded with:

Mar 22 00:28:40 hppb /askpass.py: INFO: recived password from pw_cache: myrealpassword
Mar 22 00:28:40 hppb /askpass.py: INFO: askpass recived password myrealpassword from pw_cache

So, this time the password seems to be correct. However, BIT is flooding /var/log/syslog and if I open its main window, as soon as I try to switch to the remote profile the UI freezes.

If I do a ps -ef | grep backintime I see the following:

mauro 3343 1 0 00:27 ? 00:00:00 python3 /usr/share/backintime/common/backintime.py --pw-cache start
root 3406 1 0 mar21 ? 00:00:00 /usr/bin/python3 /usr/share/backintime/qt4/serviceHelper.py
mauro 8869 3355 0 00:30 ? 00:00:00 /bin/sh /usr/bin/backintime-askpass Bad passphrase, try again for /home/mauro/.ssh/id_rsa:
mauro 8870 8869 0 00:30 ? 00:00:00 python3 /usr/share/backintime/common/askpass.py Bad passphrase, try again for /home/mauro/.ssh/id_rsa:
mauro 8874 8598 0 00:30 pts/7 00:00:00 grep --colour=auto backintime

If I repeat the command, I see that the pid for askpass.py changes continuously. I think it's this that is flooding my /var/log/syslog

After killing pid 3343 above it stopped.
