[Bug 1288] ssh-add on Cygwin -- can't access ssh-agent socket
http://bugzilla.mindrot.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1288 Summary: ssh-add on Cygwin -- can't access ssh-agent socket Product: Portable OpenSSH Version: v4.5p1 Platform: ix86 OS/Version: Cygwin on NT/2k Status: NEW Severity: major Priority: P2 Component: ssh-add AssignedTo: bitbucket at mindrot.org ReportedBy: richw at richw.org I'm running OpenSSH 4.5p1 / OpenSSL 0.9.8e, installed as part of Cygwin 1.5.24(0.156/4/2) on a PC running WinXP Pro SP2. I can't get ssh-agent / ssh-add to work. I get the following errors when I try to add an identity via ssh-add: Error reading response length from authentication socket. Error writing to authentication socket. As best I can tell, I invoked ssh-agent properly; the subshell from which I'm trying to run ssh-add does have the proper SSH_AUTH_SOCK and SSH_AGENT_PID values, and the socket is readable/writable by me. Ssh-add and ssh-agent work perfectly for me on an older Cygwin installation (OpenSSH 3.9p1 / OpenSSL 0.9.7e / Cygwin 1.5.12(0.116/4/2). ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug, or are watching the assignee.
