severity 614897 important thanks I'm raising the severity because ssh-add's recent failures to read keys from a FIFO (http://bugs.debian.org/614897) actually cause monkeysphere to FTBFS, because the monkeysphere test suite uses "monkeysphere subkey-to-ssh-agent", which in turn relies on the ability of ssh-add to read from a FIFO. fwiw, the original upstream change (to authfile.c CVS version 1.85 to 1.86) that introduced this regression is documented in the ChangeLog like so: > - djm@cvs.openbsd.org 2010/11/21 10:57:07 > [authfile.c] > Refactor internals of private key loading and saving to work on memory > buffers rather than directly on files. This will make a few things > easier to do in the future; ok markus@ So i don't think that the regression was an intentional one, or a deliberate attempt to break reading from FIFOs. --dkg
