I had some ssh keys set up in my F8 home directory (i.e. ~/.ssh/*).

When I installed F9 on a new box, I just restored all my files by copying from my old drive using "find | cpio".

Now, when I try to use rsync over an ssh connection (from a terminal), I get a GUI dialog titled "Unlock private key" asking for a "password to unlock the private key".

Entering my user password and clicking "OK" seems to have no effect; entering nothing and clicking "Deny" twice will eventually allow the rsync to complete.

I haven't seen this at all, although I have the ssh keys imported into seahorse already so that may be why I don't see the dialog.

Also I'm using ~/.ssh/config so choose which id is used per host, and ssh-add to import the indentities, so I don't see any UI dialog asking for passphrases at all.

Do you have the permissions all correct in ~/.ssh? Check that they are only read and editable by your user?
