thanx for the good tips, but the problem lies somewhere
else if think.
using root-console with nautilus sftp://user@host gives the
gnome-ssh-askpass up, storing the pass in the keyring or for
the session this user can connect to that server or servers
where he uses the same pass again and again.

doing that without root permissions it fails in gui
(file -> connect to server -> ssh ..) and also from
commandline (nautilus sftp://user@host).

could someone please try to reproduce this?
if its reproducable I'll file a bug.
