-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Good evening, sorry if this is the wrong list, I found none that seemed to fit better. I am trying to get ssh-add with the -c option to work. But I always get this error: > Agent admitted failure to sign using the key. But to start from the beginning. ################################# On my linux machines (e.g. laptops, ...) I can login without an X session started/used. The ssh-agent is started from .bashrc. I can then add an identity with > ssh-add -c /path/to/keyfile I try to connect to another server, then the error appears. I delete the identity from ssh-agent, and add it again without the -c: > ssh-add /path/to/keyfile And suddenly I can connect without any errors. ################################# - - I see this on different machines, mostly running openSUSE. Some are running ArchLinux, some fedora. All show this error. - - I see this on physical machines, virtual machines connected via a console (libvirt/kvm) - - I get a prompt when trying this using KDE, but although I give my password, the error appears - - I also see this if I start a new bash via > ssh-agent bash So, I'm puzzled. And I do not know how to debug this. Or where to start. Or if I understood something completely wrong about the -c option. Any hints, tipps, tricks are highly appreciated. If you need more information, please dont hesitate to ask. Thanks in advance. Regards, Johannes - -- Pulling together is the aim of despotism and tyranny. Free men pull in all kinds of directions.
