Fyi: a ControlMaster started by scp doesn't forward agent
Hello, i am really sorry that i send this as a mail message, but i forgot my bugtracker password and just can't seem to get a valid token to update the password (the first attempt failed because during token validation -- i have seen the input form --, 1&1, my web provider, cut the connection, which happens frequently ?0[steffen at wales ]$ scp ... ... ... ?0[steffen at wales ]$ ssh ... ... * [steffen at ...]$ ssh-add -l Could not open a connection to your authentication agent. * [steffen at sdaoden]$ logout Shared connection to ... closed. ?0[steffen at wales ]$ ll /tmp/.ssh_...-steffen srw------- 1 steffen steffen 0 Sep 28 20:57 /tmp/.ssh_...-steffen ?0[steffen at wales ]$ date Wed Sep 28 20:57:59 CEST 2016 This is OpenSSH_7.3p1 on client and OpenSSH_7.2p2-hpn14v4 on server, and the configuration includes "ControlMaster auto" and "ForwardAgent yes". This could be related to "Allow agent forwarding in sftp & scp"[1], but, like i said. (I would wonder how, though, since the control master creates the connection, i'd assume.) I happily do the web stuff, but i won't try to reset my password again before -10-02, said the python thing. [1] https://bugzilla.mindrot.org/show_bug.cgi?id=831 Ciao. --steffen
