Oddness with agent forwarding and -i
Hey everyone,
I hope this isn't an old issue; I wasn't able to
locate it in the archives.
I have a number of scripts which make use of ssh -i
and scp -i, where the target host has the specified
key in its authorized_keys file with a command=
override to do immediate processing of the received
data. This works extremely well, as we are able to
establish single-function, triggered-action

ssh-agent and IdentityFile
I've noticed that the ssh-agent applies any keys it already has
passwords for (via ssh-add) first, overriding the ssh config files for
preferred identity file from .ssh/config and -i. This seems a
documented behavior.
However, this causes problems with some tool chains that use the
authorized_keys command directive to change behavior based on which
key is used.
In my case, I use gitolite for

Selecting specific key from agent
There are cases when a user might have multiple keys in ssh-agent, but
wants to use a specific one. Unless I'm mistaken, this is currently
impossible. I've put together a proof of concept using the key's
"filename" (the third column in the output of 'ssh-add -l') and it
works.
Is this a new feature that would be accepted? If so, should the key be
identified with its

IdentityFile vs IdentitiesOnly
Hi folks,
I've got a moderate number of keys in my ssh config file.
Problem: Very often I get an error message like
Received disconnect from 2001:db8::8077 port 999:2: Too many authentication failures
Authentication failed.
AFAIU the ssh-agent is to blame here, trying out all keys
he has ever seen. This conflicts with MaxAuthTries 6, set by
default on the peer.
The solution seems to be to

Specification of identity for ssh client to use
Is there any way to tell the openssh client exactly which identity to
use for an outgoing commection? I know about "-i identityfile", but
it doesn't do what I want. I want to precisely specify the identity
to use, not just add an identity to a list of things to try. Whatever
mechanism is used should work both for local files and for identities
managed by ssh-agent.

Personally, I set IdentitiesOnly yes as the global default in ~/.ssh/config, and explicitly set the preferred key

ssh while ssh-agent is running
> ssh should do this already
Hi Damien,
Let's discuss what it does already... For example, if ssh-agent already has
six keys, will it append the "-i key" as the seventh choice?
Apparently there is a "six-key authentication limit on most servers". A
seventh key will fail. If ssh is adding the new key to the end of the list
it would be expected to fail.
This limit is

Can one set an agent timeout for a specific host?
If I set a timeout for a specific host's key does it set the timeout
for just that key/host?
I.e. if I do something like in ~/.ssh/config:-
#
#
# backup, use public-key authentication
#
Host backup
IdentityFile ~/.ssh/backup_id_rsa
IdentityAgent 600
Will it just time out the key saved for backup and leave any other
keys with the default no timeout?

How to use ssh -i with a key from ssh-agent rather than from a file?
Hi,
I have a VM with a git repository whose origin is on
github. I have several keys known to github, so I needed
to set git's core.sshcommand config parameter in the
repository to something like this:
ssh -i ~/.ssh/id_ed25519_github2
But it meant that I needed to copy that key to the VM.
The same key is available via my forwarded ssh-agent
connection. Is it possible to tell ssh to use

OSX - SSH agent functionality differing based upon CLI arguments
Trying to get SSH agent forwarding working for a popular open source configuration management system called Ansible.
I?ve had some unexpected behaviour, the only cause of which I can find is how I express the command line arguments.

Filtering which identities are forwarded by ssh-agent to a given host
Howdy,
I'm looking for a way to restrict which ssh keys are forwarded to a
given remote host because we have several ssh domains. That is, I have
two keys which I use throughout the day:
.ssh/network-a-2014-10-12
.ssh/network-b-2014-11-22
I need to forward my network A key to the ssh gateway host for Network A
to allow me to log into hosts on the other side of the gateway but I
