[sshmenu] Warning when connecting to ssh server

[Christopher J. W. <chr...@gm...>]

$SSH_AUTH_SOCK point to /tmp/whatever, but it does not exist!

This started happening recently, but never used to.  Is there a way to
prevent or re-set this or anything?

This sounds like the problem described here:

  http://sshmenu.sourceforge.net/faq/#agent_error

The quick and dirty workaround is to reboot your workstation.  The fix
is to make sure that when you log out of GNOME, all the GNOME processes
are killed.

Right on.  I can't believe that was in the FAQ and I missed it.  For anyone
else interested, on Ubuntu (I'm on Gutsy) the FAQ lists
/etc/X11/gdm/PostSession/Default, but the gdm stuff is now just at /etc/gdm
(ergo, /etc/gdm/PostSession/Default).

Thanks!
