openssh unix dev - Oct 2002 - [Bug 410] New: when -i or IdentityFile is specified, agent keys are still tried first

http://bugzilla.mindrot.org/show_bug.cgi?id=410

           Summary: when -i or IdentityFile is specified, agent keys are
                    still tried first
           Product: Portable OpenSSH
           Version: -current
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: minor
          Priority: P2
         Component: ssh-agent
        AssignedTo: openssh-unix-dev at mindrot.org
        ReportedBy: bugzilla at home-safe.net


I noticed this because I have five keys in my ssh-add -l list and I often 
experience the behaviour when connecting to systems where I use password auth 
that if I don't get the password right on the first shot, it tells me
"too many
auth failures" and I don't get a second chance.  

So I was looking at the -v output and wondering why all my ssh-agent identities 
are tried _before_ the identity explicitly configured in the .ssh/config file 
or supplied on the command line with -i.  

It would be nice to have an option to suppress the ssh-agent auth attempts when 
I know they aren't applicable.
