ssh passwords are not stored in gnome-keyring

[Günter]

when mounting a sftp mount with nautilus + gvfs I enable the radio-button "Remember forever". The passwords don't appear in seahorse and are therefor not stored permanently.

smb:// mounts get stored and existing (most probably from earlier jaunty versions) sftp passwords/keys work.

Jaunty 9.04 latest updates/upgrades

Thanks for your bug report. This bug has been reported to the developers of the software. You can track it and make comments here: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=580024

This bug is still there in the latest karmic (gvfs 1.3.3), but I found a workaround. If you give an explicit user in the URL (like sftp://user@server) the password is saved (at least for me).

I've also added this to the bug report at the Gnome bugzilla.

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

This bug was fixed in the package gvfs - 1.5.4-0ubuntu1

---------------
gvfs (1.5.4-0ubuntu1) lucid; urgency=low

  * New upstream release:
    - gphoto2: Better support for devices that are read-only + delete
    - gdu: Various fixes and preparation for LVM
    - ftp: fix asserts
    - sftp: remember to save password if username changed (LP: #365662)
    - gio module: don't call g_file_find_enclosing_mount_async callback
      directly
    - gvfs-monitor: Track moves if available
    - Translation updates
  * debian/control.in: Bump gdu and glib build dependency, according to
    configure.ac.
  * debian/rules: Explicitly set D-Bus service dir configuration option, to
    work around regression in upstream configure.ac (now fixed in trunk).
