Eero Aaltonen (ejn) wrote : Inconsistent behaviour on SSH connections

The first think I usually after login is that I open a terminal and execute
$ ssh remotehost

Currently about half of time I get the graphical dialog, which will prompt me for my passphrase and store it to the keyring, which is fine.

The other half of the time I instead get prompted in the terminal for my passphrase
    Enter passphrase for key <mykey>

which does not store it to the keyring. I can add my key to the keyring with `ssh-add` but this altering behaviour is weird and inconsistent.

I have two key(pair)s on my computer, in case that's relevant.
