Comment 10 for bug 383926

Oops, I was a bit quick on the trigger -- $SSH_AUTH_SOCK points directly to the socket, not to the directory containing it. :-( The correct workaround is as follows (i.e., this is a correction to comment #9 above):

/usr/bin/gnome-keyring-daemon --start
newsockdir=`ls -dt1 /tmp/keyring* | head -1`
rm -rf $SSH_AUTH_SOCK
ln -s $newsockdir `dirname $SSH_AUTH_SOCK`

As Bullwinkle would say, "this time for sure". :-)
