The second ssh session also works if I simply run "sudo >su {me} -c ssh" so becoming root isn't the key. > >Summary: > JuiceSSH -> user@machine1 -> user@machine2 :: FAILS > JuiceSSH -> user@machine1 -> sudo on machine1 -> user@machine2 :: WORKS > >I've examined the output of the set command for all of these situations >and can't find any variables that are different that seem relevant.

I've added an alias to my system and will use it when connecting from JuiceSSH: alias xssh="unset SSH_AUTH_SOCK; ssh" -- Dave Close, Compata, Irvine CA "Whenever you have a secret, dave@xxxxxxxxxxx, +1 714 434 7359 you have a vulnerability." dhclose@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx -- Whitfield Diffie -- _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue
