I think I have found funny problem, but I don't know where I should report about it or if someone would have solution for it. To summarize it, ssh authentication agent forwarding doesnt seem to work in ssh protocol 2 To give you complete picture about situation, we probably should start with more detailed information about environment. It consists one RedHat Linux 7.1 (openssh 2.9p2) and FreeBSD 4.4-RELEASE (openssh 2.3.0). In RH box, I've started my session with "exec ssh-agent gnome-session", I've then added my sshv1 and sshv2 identities into agent. [jylitalo@jylitwork jylitalo]$ ssh-add -l 1024 84:c6:5d:ab:21:62:32:84:5d:cd:fd:f9:2b:f3:40:6f jylitalo@jylitpc.ntc.nokia.com (RSA1) 1024 0d:38:19:99:b6:9a:8e:29:db:5c:5f:0e:df:a3:7c:94 dsa w/o comment (DSA) [jylitalo@jylitwork jylitalo]$ I have first identity in FreeBSD machines ~/.ssh/authorized_keys and second one in authorized_keys2 file and I don't have any problems at doing ssh commands from RH box to FreeBSD. Things start going wrong, if I first open session with "ssh -A FreeBSD" and then try to give "ssh-add -l". bash-2.05$ ssh-add -l Could not open a connection to your authentication agent. bash-2.05$ Also I don't seem to have SSH_AUTH_SOCK defined in my environment. Work-around to this situation is to use "ssh -1 -A FreeBSD" command for that session, because then "ssh-add -l" will work correctly and I have SSH_AUTH_SOCK is defined. If someone has found same situation and found way to fix it (other than editing /etc/ssh/ssh_config in RH box), I would love to hear about it. -- Juha Ylitalo juha.o.ylitalo@nokia.com <work e-mail> +358 40 562 6152 http://www.iki.fi/~jylitalo <public www> "Some tools are used, because its policy, others because they are good."
