Rolf, Thank you for taking the time to file a bug report.
I have just used the following in my .bashrc (like keychain man page says so): """ keychain id_rsa id_dsa id_ecdsa [ -z "$HOSTNAME" ] && HOSTNAME=`uname -n` [ -f $HOME/.keychain/$HOSTNAME-sh ] && . $HOME/.keychain/$HOSTNAME-sh [ -f $HOME/.keychain/$HOSTNAME-sh-gpg ] && . $HOME/.keychain/$HOSTNAME-sh-gpg """ and I have all my keys already set: """ * keychain 2.8.5 ~ http://www.funtoo.org * Found existing ssh-agent: 3684816 * Known ssh key: /home/rafaeldtinoco/.ssh/id_rsa * Known ssh key: /home/rafaeldtinoco/.ssh/id_dsa * Known ssh key: /home/rafaeldtinoco/.ssh/id_ecdsa rafaeldtinoco@workstation:~$ """ for every new shell. Just needed to put my password once. Since it seems likely to me that this is a local configuration problem, rather than a bug in Ubuntu, I am marking this bug as 'Incomplete'. However, if you believe that this is really a bug in Ubuntu, then we would be grateful if you would provide a more complete description of the problem with steps to reproduce, explain why you believe this is a bug in Ubuntu rather than a problem specific to your system, and then change the bug status back to "New".
