Hello I would like to know if ssh-add is working as it is intended:
here is what I did: *mrdesk@desk ~/_pla $ ssh-add* *Enter passphrase for /home/mrdesk/.ssh/id_rsa: * here I entered nothing, the key does have, and was expecting a passphrase... ssh-add failed silently. *mrdesk@desk ~/_pla $ ssh-add* *Enter passphrase for /home/mrdesk/.ssh/id_rsa: * *Identity added: /home/mrdesk/.ssh/id_rsa (/home/mrdesk/.ssh/id_rsa)* here I typed the passphrase and it happily says it worked. Can you tell me if the former silent error is intended? I'm kind of a novice and found myself stuck for an hour on an ssh authentication failure because I didn't realize the first effort was a failure, since it fails silently. versions: *mrdesk@desk ~/_pla $ ssh -v * *OpenSSH_5.9p1 Debian-5, OpenSSL 1.0.1 14 Mar 2012* -Carl Macmillan [email protected]
