Re: SSH_AUTH_SOCK behavior is completely insane

This is not just Fedora specific behavior. I ran into this a few days ago on a Mac after adding a bunch of keys to my agent (one per AWS region). Even if you specify a key with “-i” it will still go for the agent, resulting in an Auth failure. Not sure if specifying a key in the config will over ride it though, I didn’t try that. 

The fact that SSH prioritizes the agent over a manually specified key definitely smells like an upstream bug though. That’s not just counter intuitive that’s a blatant disregard of an explicit command specified by the user. 

Cheers!

Why? I do lots of linux admin work and I only have two keys.

I use a different key for each organization I'm working for/with.  I have a personal key, one for Fedora packaging, one for github, another for bitbucket, and several for different companies where I perform admin work.

You can certainly use one or two keys for all of that, but I don't think it's the best practice to do so.  Not everyone feels the same, but it's far from unusual to have quite a few keys.
