 Hello,
 
 I have previously used keychain as per the gentoo docs.  Once I
 supplied the SSH passphrase at the console I was able to access other
 machines without providing a password.
 
 I have just started using gnome and am logging in using gdm.  When I log
 in I am not asked for a passphrase.  If I start a screen session in an
 xterm I'm prompted for my passphrase.  Then I start a new xterm and use
 it to ssh to another machine and a dialogue opens asking for the
 passphrase.
 
 I would like to know how to configure gdm/gnome to ask for the
 passprhase once, at login so that I don't have to enter it multiple
 times.
 
 Thanks,
 Roger

I have seahorse installed and it is in the list of startup apps under
Preferences.  I _am_ being asked for a _passphrase_ when I try to ssh to
another machine (although the dialogue calls it a _password_).  I have
no idea which application is popping up this dialogue.  Having supplied
the passphrase I can ssh to the remote machine without being asked again
for the passphrase.  However, if I then open an xterm on my local
machine and start an xterm inside it I am prompted for the passphrase
again, on the xterm, not in a dialogue box.

Thanks,
Roger
