Hi, I run into a certain problem from time to time. 1. Configure and launch ssh-agent. 2. That's usually perfect. 3. Occasionally, connect to a different and less common remote server. Use ssh -i keyfile 4. ssh -i keyfile fails. Because ssh-agent doesn't know about that key. If you are specifying a key "-i key", then you are specifying a key, and clearly don't need to use the keys from ssh-agent. Could ssh prefer the key from the command line? Give that precedence, over using the ssh-agent keys? Many executables make choices based on multiple input parameters, with information from the command-line having the top priority. What is your opinion? Thanks, Sam _______________________________________________ openssh-unix-dev mailing list openssh-unix-dev@xxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.mindrot.org/mailman/listinfo/openssh-unix-dev
