> ssh should do this already Hi Damien, Let's discuss what it does already... For example, if ssh-agent already has six keys, will it append the "-i key" as the seventh choice? Apparently there is a "six-key authentication limit on most servers". A seventh key will fail. If ssh is adding the new key to the end of the list it would be expected to fail. This limit is actually why I haven't added to the newer key to the agent also. Which leads to an idea: how about switching the "-i key" to the top of the list, instead of the end. > IdentitiesOnly Ok. The option "-o IdentitiesOnly=yes" is another solution. A problem with that, it's a bit cumbersome. You have to realize what the cause of the problem, so that adding the flag will fix it (why is ssh failing anyway?). And then check the exact syntax. And write that, on the command-line. It is another option though. _______________________________________________ openssh-unix-dev mailing list openssh-unix-dev@xxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.mindrot.org/mailman/listinfo/openssh-unix-dev
