However, using keys does not require an agent to be running. I generally have an agent running, but when that setup is not working properly, I get a prompt to enter the key passphrase, rather than a password prompt. I don't have time to troubleshoot this right now. If you use the sftp/ssh command, are you correctly asked for the passphrase for the key? If not, you key ID may be getting rejected by the server. If you are asked to unlock the key from the command-line, it sounds like an issue with Dolphin not interfacing with ssh properly. In that case, a bug seems appropriate. -- Boyd Stephen Smith Jr. ,= ,-_-. =. bss@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx ((_/)o o(\_)) ICQ: 514984 YM/AIM: DaTwinkDaddy `-'(. .)`-' http://iguanasuicide.net/ \_/
