ssh-add -D (or -d) does not delete the keys

[Igor Katson]

Ubuntu Linux 2.6.24-16-rt, openssh-client version 1:4.7p1-8ubuntu1

I just can't delete the keys from the ssh-agent. It says that the operation has been successful, but they are still in there, and ssh-agent continues to ligon without any passphrase prompt. Here is the exact command sequence.

ssh-add -l
2048 xx:xx:xx:xx:xx..... (RSA)

ssh-add -D
All identities removed.

ssh-add -d
Identity removed: /home/descent/.ssh/id_rsa (/home/descent/.ssh/id_rsa.pub)

ssh-add -l
2048 xx:xx:xx:xx:xx..... (RSA)

I marked it as a security vulnerability cause if i leave my terminal running, anyone can access the remote server, even gain the root access without entering any passwords.

Made some search, and figured out that it's because of the gnome-keyring-manager. The same problem http://groups.google.com/group/linux.debian.bugs.dist/browse_thread/thread/150d601e274584e8/8982eb1a03d596ed
