Re: SSH_AUTH_SOCK behavior is completely insane

I tried IdentitiesOnly and it worked but it also disables password login which I sometimes need.

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_rsa

Maybe that will be helpful as an alternative to disabling the agent entirely.
