askpass is not working on openSuse 10.3

Hi to all,
I have a problem with the ssh-askpass. After the installation of 10.3 64bit, the sshaskpass is not working!

I kept the same settings in my home folder, assuming that the upgrade will not brake the setup, but it did!

Installed packages:

openssh-4.6p1-58.6
openssh-askpass-4.6p1-58.6
keychain-2.6.8-18
pam_ssh-1.94-96

The .bashrc has the following lines at the end of it:

eval `ssh-agent` 1>/dev/null
/usr/bin/keychain id_dsa 2>/dev/null
. ~/.keychain/$HOSTNAME-sh

The problem is that neither the x-popup window is presented just after the KDM login, nor the key is kept in memory if I log out the KDE. So, each time I am logged in KDE I have to open a konsole, enter the ssh passphrase and then continue my work.

I have the exact same configuration on an opensuse 10.1 and it works fine. I am almost sure that the problem is somewhere else. Does anyone has the same problem?

No one? I do need askpass, believe me.

OK, please allow me to add a comment to my previous post and then ask again for help.’

  1. I have upgraded an openSuse 10.1 to openSuse 10.3.
  2. In 10.1 after a reboot and after the successful login via the KDM, the pop-up window of x11-ssh-passphrase was asking me for the passphrase of my private keys.
  3. After the upgrade:

  • No pop-up window of x11-ssh-passphrase is shown. :frowning:

  • I altered the /etc/X11/xinit in order to uncomment the ssh-add. After that, I restarted the X server (init 3;init 5 via root console). Then, the X11 pop up window was presented and asked me for the passphrase. So far so good. But:

  • If I log out the session, when I login again the pop up window is there, while up to 10.1 that was not an issue. :frowning:

  • The logout issue should be some variable that is cleared. So, how can I check that? Is it possible to log the ‘log-out’ script? :beat-up:
