The problem was that I had asked ssh to allow authentication agent forwarding (that -A switch) to happen and if I did it with ssh protocol 2, ssh requested that in (if I give ssh -A -v), but FreeBSD machine didn't have SSH_SOCK_AUTH defined and for that reason ssh-add -l failed to list my two ssh identities. I need this functionality in my environment, so that users can start test scripts, which will do ssh connections from that FreeBSD to new machines. At the moment, I've instructed users to use "ssh -1 -A" to make such connection that authentication agent forwarding works correctly. -- Juha Ylitalo juha.o.ylitalo@nokia.com <work e-mail> Heikki7/262 http://10.64.13.22/~jylitalo <work www> +358 40 562 6152 http://www.iki.fi/~jylitalo <public www> "Some tools are used, because its policy, others because they are good."
