openssh bugs - Nov 2010 - [Bug 1834] New: OpenSSH ignores keys in ~/.ssh/config and offers keys from Seahorse instead

https://bugzilla.mindrot.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1834

           Summary: OpenSSH ignores keys in ~/.ssh/config and offers keys
                    from Seahorse instead
           Product: Portable OpenSSH
           Version: 5.6p1
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: ssh
        AssignedTo: unassigned-bugs at mindrot.org
        ReportedBy: jchadima at redhat.com


The ssh ignores the "IdentityFile" config in ~/.ssh/config and instead
uses the keys from Seahorse in alphabetical order. There is no way how
to force the order the keys. This may cause the unability to login on
sites with limited numbers of login attempts.

Doesn't "IdentitiesOnly yes" do what you want?

from "man ssh_config"

IdentitiesOnly
  Specifies that ssh(1) should only use the authentication identity
  files configured in the ssh_config files, even if ssh-agent(1)
  offers more identities.  The argument to this keyword must be
  ``yes'' or ``no''.  This option is intended for situations
where
  ssh-agent offers many different identities.  The default is ``no''.

If you don't want ssh to touch the agent at all, then unset the
SSH_AUTH_SOCK environment variable.
