The ssh-agent is started by /etc/X11/Xsession.d/90x11-common_ssh-agent You can edit this file to make sure ssh-agent is not started automatically anymore with the X session. Another option might be to uninstall whatever package is responsible for the popup window, e.g. ssh-askpass-gnome or gtk-led-askpass. (I don't know Gnome well enough to be sure if this works, though.) -- Regards, | http://users.icfo.es/Florian.Kulzer Florian | -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
