ssh-askpass has no Option to save the Passphrase to a keyring

[Sebastian Bator]

Binary package hint: ssh-askpass-gnome

When Ssh-askpass asks for a pass phrase to a ssh-key on previews releases, there was a checkbox for saving the pass phrase in the keyring and lock it up when logging in. Under Jaunty (with ssh-askpass-gnome version 1:5.1p1-5ubuntu1) this Option is no longer available, so there is no possibility to get new pass phrases into the keyring.

For clarification see this screenshot of working window in Hardy: http://launchpadlibrarian.net/26627518/ubuntu-8.10-default-ssh-add-behaviour.png

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. The issue that you reported is one that should be reproducible with the live environment of the Desktop CD of the development release - Karmic Koala. It would help us greatly if you could test with it so we can work on getting it fixed in the next release of Ubuntu. You can find out more about the development release at http://www.ubuntu.com/testing/. Thanks again and we appreciate your help.

The Bug is still alive in todays karmic, with ssh-askpass-gnome 1:5.1p1-6ubuntu1.
