Package: openssh-client
Version: 1:4.3p2-3
Severity: normal
Tags: patch
Problem: `ssh-add -L' outputs the error message ``The agent
has no identities.'' to standard output.
Steps to reproduce:
$ ssh-agent sh
$ ssh-add -L 2>/dev/null
The agent has no identities.
This causes problems for ssh-copy-id. In particular,
$ ssh-agent sh
$ ssh-copy-id walrus
Password:
Now try logging into the machine, with "ssh 'walrus'", and check in:
.ssh/authorized_keys
to make sure we haven't added extra keys that you weren't expecting.
$ ssh walrus
Password:
walrus:~$ cat .ssh/authorized_keys
The agent has no identities.
The fix is trivial:
