SSH passphrase not remembered

[linduxed]

When I was using Intrepid I had seahorse asking if it wanted to store ssh passphrases entered when logging into a remote server using keys.

This has to my knowledge never happened in Jaunty, and since i know it should work, I don't feel like start using ssh-agent.

Do I have to turn something on to have seahorse save the passphrases?

I don't know anything about seahorse, but the saving of passphrases surprises me for any program making use of ssh. Saving keys is normal, but passwords isn't. I know I've read before that the ssh daemon "goes to great lengths" to make sure a password comes from a keyboard and not a save file... it's supposed to be a security feature against dictionary and bruit force attacks.
