   - One one machine right click your personal SSH key and
     'Export' it to a file.
   - Move the file to another computer.
   - Drag the file into the Key Manager.
   - Select the key and check 'The owner of this key is
     authorized to access this computer'.

Save your SSH key passphrases in gnome-keyring.

     the 'Passphrase Cache' tab in 'Encryption Preferences'.


About Seahorse:
==================

WARNING: This is a development release.

Seahorse is a GNOME application for managing encryption keys. It also
integrates with nautilus, gedit and other places for
encryption/decryption operations.

Current work on seahorse is going into making encryption easier for end
users to use and (where needed) comprehend.

     * Better UI for SSH passphrases.
     * Secure password entry box now looks just like a normal
       GTK entry box.
     * When editing the key server list, the selection in the
       'Publish to' box no longer jumps around.
     * Better compatibility with PGP key servers.
     * Safer munging of gpg.conf
