What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Unlock a public key.
2. Use to log in to a host.
3. Wait for some (long) time (1 day usually does it for me).
4. Try to use the key again.
What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I would expect a key that I once unlocked to stay unlocked and work on
subsequent logins. Instead, it seems to automatically revert from the unlocked
state after a certain time that I can't seem to configure anyway. A look at the
source confirms that PubKeys have a lifetime, but it is not quite clear to me
from a simple analysis how this property is determined.
Since unlocking my key all the time is a bit annoying, I would prefer to have
this configurable so that I can choose when to automagically unload the key. At
the very least, it would be nice to have documentation of this behaviour.
What version of the product are you using (you can see this by using Menu
-> About in the Host List)?
ConnectBot 1.7.0 (r5fbae7c 2010.09.02)
