Not at all. It just requires some config to handle that well. :)
Does everyone disable agent first thing after installing Fedora? How else do you even manage to survive with this crap running?
The agent is great. It certainly can be annoying with many keys, some of which is made worse by the agent being provided not by ssh but by gnome-keyring-daemon, I think.
Why would agent even try with other keys if I SPECIFY the goddamn key! It doesn't make any sense!
There is a way to avoid this though, using the IdentitiesOnly option in the ssh config:
Host *.example.com IdentityFile ~/.ssh/id_rsa_example_com Host *.example.net IdentityFile ~/.ssh/id_rsa_example_net Host * IdentitiesOnly yes IdentityFile ~/.ssh/id_rsaMaybe that will be helpful as an alternative to disabling the agent entirely.
