I have a related question. In Ubuntu 8.04, Max's workaround doesn't work. (My initial problem was with 8.10, I know.) Max said:

1. Add the line "unset SSH_AUTH_SOCK" to ~/.xsessionrc (creating it if it doesn't exist).
2. Run gnome-session-properties and untick "GNOME Keyring Daemon Wrapper".

But in 8.04, there is no "GNOME Keyring Daemon Wrapper" choice in gnome-session-properties.

What I want to do is get gnome-keyring-daemon out of the loop entirely. Don't ask for my ssh passphrase in a dialog window, just let it be entered on the command line. I'll use "ssh-add -D" when I'm done to get things out of memory.

Is there some way to get gnome-keyring to stop acting as an ssh-agent (or whatever it's doing) in 8.04 and instead just let the real ssh-agent do it's thing?

Thanks much.
