Christopher, Let me rephrase what I said: This wishlist item properly belongs in 90x11-common_ssh-agent; it has yet to be implemented.
That GNOME discussion from six years ago is not relevant here. Fedora may be doing something like what is described in that thread, but Debian/Ubuntu are not. If Debian/Ubuntu are proposing to change the way that the agent is handled that would obviate the need for this wishlist item, then feel free to mention it. If you are a maintainer of Ubuntu's OpenSSH packages and would like to discuss the merits of this approach, then by all means do so. It is inappropriate, however, for you as a Bug Control member to change the status of a wishlist item to WONTFIX unless you are also an Ubuntu developer and you have a reason not to implement the item. (You may want to review https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Status) Please revert the status of this bug to NEW. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to xorg in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1131383 Title: Wishlist: $SSH_AUTH_SOCK in $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR Status in “xorg” package in Ubuntu: Won't Fix Bug description: This is a wishlist item for openssh-client 6.0p1-3ubuntu1 in Ubuntu Quantal. Now that XDG_RUNTIME_DIR support is available, it would be nice if the /etc/X11/Xsession.d/90x11-common_ssh-agent X session startup script would check to see if the variable is set, and if so, pass an argument to ssh-agent(1) so that the Unix-domain socket is created in /run/user/$USER/* rather than /tmp/ssh-*/.
