Mac OS X (Snow Leopard).
I accidentally selected the "remember password in my keychain" option when providing the ssh private key passphrase when connecting to a remote server.
Now, when I ssh to the server (even after reboots) it never prompts for the passphrase. How do I get it to prompt me again?
