ssh not allowing password login if keys are an option

 

It seems that the new setup with Lubuntu won't allow me to log in via SSH using a password if using a key is also an option. If I connect to the server in LXTerminal

	ssh -l lars xx.yy.zz.aa

then a graphical dialog box pops up and wants me to enter the passphrase (I think) for the private key: "Enter password to unlock private key" If I hit cancel, then ssh quits with this error:

	Received disconnect from xx.yy.zz.aa: 2: Too
	many authentication failures for lars

The same dialog box pops up even after I've already used ssh-add to load the key into the agent.

Speaking of ssh-add, that seems broken, too. If I enter "ssh-add -l" to see which key I've loaded, it seems to list all the keys I have in .ssh instead of what has been loaded into the agent.

Is anyone else seeing these two behaviors?
