openssh unix dev - Aug 2000 - OpenSSH -> SSH; ssh-agent: reasking for passphrase

Precedence: bulk

Hi,

I try to connect from a SuSE Linux openssh-2.1.1p1-4 system to a FreeBSD
system which runs
SSH Version 1.2.27 [i386-unknown-freebsd3.2], protocol version 1.5.
Standard version.  Does not use RSAREF.

Before I switched (at home) to openssh I could use ssh-add, ssh
(freebsd), and from there to another server ssh (freebsd2), where
(freebsd[2..n]) are n+1 unix systems @university.

Now with openssh I can use the ssh agent to connect to (freebsd[n]), but
if I want to connet via ssh to another server @university I'm asked for
"Enter passphrase for RSA key `foo at freebsd3': "

A first try with openssh-2.1.1p4 from a solaris system shows the same
problems.

Note: The authorized_keys  @univ uses user at foo.university.net, but I log
in as user at bar.university.net
($HOME is nfs), but I makes no difference if I login at foo or bar
first.

A quick test shows that this even doesn't work:

foo at bar ~> ssh foo at localhost
Last login: Fri Aug  4 18:08:48 2000 from localhost
foo at bar ~> ssh foo at localhost
Enter passphrase for RSA key 'foo at bar': 


compared with ssh 1.2.27:
foo at freebsd1:~> eval `ssh-agent`
Agent pid 3310
foo at freebsd1:~> ssh-add
....
foo at freebsd1:~> ssh freebsd2
[login]
foo at freebsd2:~> ssh freebsd1
[login]
foo at freebsd1:~> ssh freebsd2
[login]
etc.
