Hi folks, I've got a moderate number of keys in my ssh config file. Problem: Very often I get an error message like Received disconnect from 2001:db8::8077 port 999:2: Too many authentication failures Authentication failed. AFAIU the ssh-agent is to blame here, trying out all keys he has ever seen. This conflicts with MaxAuthTries 6, set by default on the peer. The solution seems to be to set IdentitiesOnly, e.g.: : : Host host.example.com 2001:db8::8077 IdentityFile ~/.ssh/id_ecdsa IdentitiesOnly yes Port 999 : : Shouldn't an explicit IdentityFile (as in the example) *imply* IdentitiesOnly? Every helpful comment is highly appreciated Harri _______________________________________________ openssh-unix-dev mailing list openssh-unix-dev@xxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.mindrot.org/mailman/listinfo/openssh-unix-dev
