Yes. HOWEVER:

--($:~)-- sudo lsof | grep -i tmp/keyring
lsof: WARNING: can't stat() fuse.gvfs-fuse-daemon file system /home/mike/.gvfs
   Output information may be incomplete.
gnome-key 8073   mike    3u   unix 0xe2fd51c0          16680 /tmp/keyring-TEj1nP/socket
gnome-key 8073   mike   13u   unix 0xe2e8ee00          16783 /tmp/keyring-TEj1nP/socket

That's strange - there's nothing listening on /tmp/keyring-L12w0n and
for sure not on the ssh named pipe in that directroy.

Yes.

So there are two that are out of ideas.

It seems there are two strange things:

- ssh agent env.var is pointing to the wrong directory.
- nothings reading from the ssh pipe in the wrong directory.

Strange, isn't it?

BTW: The lsof command I ran was correct, wasn't it? I'd expect
that it would've shown a command which had /tmp/keyring/L12w0n/ssh
open.
