SSH Agent does not work

Robert True — Mon, 30 Sep 2002 17:50:37 GMT

Anybody know how to get the ssh-agent to do the job it should? Cannot avoid having to input my user passwd when I run ssh or scp to another machine. I envoke agent as "ssh-agent ksh", followed by "ssh-add". "ssh-add -l" shows my keys (both rsa and dsa) are loaded (on both ends I might add). Still I have to keep supplying the passwd for each ssh or scp cammand. After the first time, the agent should recognize the action and supply the passwd, or so I thought. I can't get any further info (that I can use) using the -v option. What am I missing?

FYI - been so long since I started this project, forgot all about the .ssh/authorized_keys file. Works much better with it there.
