SSH & Gnome Keyring Manager

Hi,

Ive just set up ssh with public key crypto, and whenever i try to ssh into a server, gnome keyring manager has taken the liberty of auto managing my private key and pops up a prompt for the passphrase.

How can i turn this off and stick to using the terminal for the passphrase?

Thanks,
Jack

Re: SSH & Gnome Keyring Manager

You should have a look at the environment variable SSH_ASKPASS in your shell. It seems that this determines, which program is called. How about just uninstall the graphical interface? Check if one of the following packages is installed:

 pacman -Ss askpass
