Yes, I log in as normal.  On FC4 I then was asked for the shh passphrase.

Not exactly.  I'm asked for the ssh passphrase there.  In FC4 I used to see a 
message that indicated that ssh was up and running, but I can't remember the 
wording.  Something like 'the key xxxxxxxx' is in use'.  I'm sure it wasn't 
that, but something like that.  Now I have to give the passphrase there, and 
I see 'Identity added: /home/anne/.ssh/id_dsa (/home/anne/.ssh/id_dsa)'.

The reason I'm using keychain is that I run a short script that rsyncs certain 
directories of my work onto my server.  That way I'm assured that I never 
lose more than 3 hours of work, excepting the extreme catastrophe of both 
boxes have disk failures at the same time.
