I tried the following: installed F16 LXDE spin. No issues (ssh-add works as it always used to). sudo yum update kernel. No issues upon reboot (ssh-add works as before). sudo yum update openssh. No issues upon reboot (ssh-add works again as before). sudo yum update. (everything else and nothing more, on the vanilla LXDE spin). We are back to the problem upon reboot: $ ssh-add Could not open a connection to your authentication agent. So, where could the problem be? It may be noted that the problem showed up at around the same time when we upgraded to the 3.3.1 kernels in F16 and has not gone away (even though the kernel itself is not at fault). What component should a bugzilla report, if appropriate be filed under?
