Hi all,

I'm using a laptop running up-to-date Fedora 7 i386. I installed fuse
and fuse-sshfs and added the following line to /etc/fstab:
sshfs#patrick@box2: /mnt/box2 fuse noauto,user 0 0

When I login to the Gnome desktop and start nautilus I see a little icon
called box2 at the left under "Places". If I double click on the box2
icon I get a dialog asking for my password. I enter the correct password
and... nothing.

However, if I open a terminal and manually mount it (as user patrick)
with mount /mnt/box2 and enter my password it... works. I even see the
box2 icon change automagically in nautilus and a little harddisk icon
"box2" appears on my Desktop.

I don't understand why it wont work from nautilus. To test I installed
an ssh key (without passphrase) on box2 and added ssh-agent and ssh-add
to the session startup, logged out and logged in again but it did not
make a difference.

Anyone know what I am doing wrong?

Sorry to reply to myself. Got some more information that might be
useful. The difference between mounting successfully from a terminal and
failing from nautilus is the following:

Output in /var/log/secure on remote box from a successful mount from a
terminal on the local box:

Aug 24 18:56:20 box2 sshd[2727]: Postponed publickey for patrick from
10.0.0.111 port 60652 ssh2

Output in /var/log/secure on remote box from a failing mount via
nautilus on the local box:

Aug 24 18:56:20 box2 sshd[2727]: Postponed publickey for patrick from
10.0.0.111 port 60652 ssh2

Aug 24 18:56:20 box2 sshd[2724]: pam_unix(sshd:session): session closed
for user patrick

Only difference is the last line here. Seems the session gets closed.
Anyone know why?

Regards,
Patrick
