If I ssh from my Mac to my OS box (ie not in a GNOME session), and then ssh out from my OS box to my user at remote, it works. If I log in to GNOME on my OS box (ie sitting at the desktop) and then ssh out to user at remote, it doesn't work. > I don't use GNOME so enlighten me please - does GNOME automatically > take all your SSH keys and put them into the agent? I don't know, to be honest. I'd guess it is, but it is definitely behaving differently to previous builds. Cheers, Chris
