Bug#431544: gnome-keyring adds keys when ssh-add -l is issued

Package: gnome-keyring
Version: 0.8.1-2
Severity: normal


If ssh-add -l is called from the console, then gnome-keyring tries to
add all keys available in standard locations. That is considered bad
behaviour cause ssh-add -l would not do this under normal conditions.

This behaviour does only occur if gnome-keyring is configured to
automatically load secure shell keys. Better behaviour would be to add
keys only if using them (e.g. ssh or scp to a machine).

Best Regards

Patrick
