I rebooted the machine to start over, then logged in as root vi ssh on another machine to see what was running when we were being prompted for our passphrase. Here's a filtered version of

$ ps -ef | grep username

1461     1  ?        /usr/bin/gnome-keyring-daemon --daemonize --login
1467  1446  tty2     /usr/libexec/gdm-wayland-session gnome-session
1469 1035 ? /usr/bin/dbus-daemon --session --address=systemd: --nofork --nopidfile --systemd-activation --syslog-only
1472  1467  tty2     -/bin/bash -c /usr/bin/gnome-session -l
1499 1472 tty2 /bin/sh /usr/bin/keychain -q /home/username/.ssh/UserNameKey
1525     1  ?        ssh-agent
1563 1499 tty2 /bin/sh /usr/bin/keychain -q /home/username/.ssh/UserNameKey
1564  1563  tty2     ssh-add /home/username/.ssh/UserNameKey

It looks like I'm typing into tty2, but no prompt?

Is the "no prompt" intentional for security?

What if you screw up your pass phrase?

I load multiple keys via keychain, so this could really get confusing.

Any ideas out there?

Pete
