Bug#733573: ssh: Doesn't use the key from -i when using an agent.
Package: openssh-client
Version: 1:6.4p1-1
Hi,
When I use ssh with the -i option to use a different key, it seems
to be offering my default key anyway. It seems this is only the
case when an ssh-agent is running. The key that is given isn't
added to the agent.
ssh -v shows:
debug1: identity file other_key type 1
debug1: Checking blacklist file /usr/share/ssh/blacklist.RSA-4096
debug1: Checking blacklist file /etc/ssh/blacklist.RSA-4096
debug1: identity file other_key-cert type -1
[...]
debug1: Authentications that can continue: publickey
debug1: Next authentication method: publickey
debug1: Offering RSA public key: /home/kurt/.ssh/id_rsa
When ssh doesn't know about my running ssh-agent, it will offer
the key given with -i.
Kurt
