# Set up passwordless remote login

# ssh-keygen

# cat ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub | ssh jim@192.168.1.31 "cat - >> ~/.ssh/authorized_keys;chmod 644  ~/.ssh/authorized_keys"

# When not using GNOME, passwordless logins may get hijacked by ssh-agent. Puting this in ~/.profile seemed to fix it:
if [ -n "$GNOME_KEYRING_PID" ]; then
    eval $(gnome-keyring-daemon --start)
    export SSH_AUTH_SOCK
fi

I've also renamed the Xsession startup script for ssh-agent in /etc/X11/Xsession.d to add .old to the end:
sudo mv 90x11-common_ssh-agent 90x11-common_ssh-agent.old

THE NEW BETTER WAY
1. Setting up the enlightenment session for seahorse:

see this page for details of the Enlightenment .session file:
http://www.informatiq.org/content/using-e17-gnome3-session

2.

This amounts to creating:
/usr/share/gnome-session/sessions/e17.session 

with the followingcontents:

[GNOME Session]

Name=e17 session

RequiredComponents=gnome-settings-daemon
RequiredProviders=notifications
DefaultProvider-windowmanager=enlightenment
DefaultProvider-notifications=notification-daemon




# ignore this below for now - couldn't get it working for passwordless authentication
# ssh-agent needs to have the private key added like so:
# make sure ssh-agent is running
# eval `ssh-agent`
# should return process ID
# Add the private key
# ssh-add <private key file> # e.g. ~/.ssh/id_RSA
# check it made it
# ssh-add -l
# This doesn't seem to be permanent, and adding it to startup apps in Enlightenment just prompts for the passphrase
# next up try getting seahorse-agent ruinning instead of ssh-agent
