Package: openssh-client Version: 1:6.5p1-1 Dear Debian OpenSSH Maintainers,
I wanted to play with the new ed25519 key format: !517 Z5 ?0 L1 abe@nemo2:~ (pts/17 -zsh 5.0.5 sid) 17:08:50 ~ # ssh-keygen -t ed25519 Generating public/private ed25519 key pair. Enter file in which to save the key (/home/abe/.ssh/id_ed25519): Enter passphrase (empty for no passphrase): Enter same passphrase again: Your identification has been saved in /home/abe/.ssh/id_ed25519. Your public key has been saved in /home/abe/.ssh/id_ed25519.pub. The key fingerprint is: 48:68:[…] The key's randomart image is: +--[ED25519 256--+ | . E+. | [……………………………………………] +-----------------+ !518 Z6 ?0 L1 abe@nemo2:~ (pts/17 -zsh 5.0.5 sid) 17:09:08 ~ # ssh-add Enter passphrase for /home/abe/.ssh/id_rsa: Identity added: /home/abe/.ssh/id_rsa (/home/abe/.ssh/id_rsa) Enter passphrase for /home/abe/.ssh/id_dsa: Identity added: /home/abe/.ssh/id_dsa (/home/abe/.ssh/id_dsa) Enter passphrase for /home/abe/.ssh/id_ed25519: SSH_AGENT_FAILURE Could not add identity: /home/abe/.ssh/id_ed25519 !519 Z7 ?1 L1 abe@nemo2:~ (pts/17 -zsh 5.0.5 sid) 17:09:38 I would have had expected that ssh-add adds the key after I've entered the passphrase. There seems no verbose or similar setting. I've also checked the .xsession-errors log as I would expect that ssh-agent errors go there because ssh-agent was started via the Xsession. I've also checked that it wasn't a mistyped passphrase. In that case it looks like this: Enter passphrase for /home/abe/.ssh/id_ed25519: Bad passphrase, try again for /home/abe/.ssh/id_ed25519: SSH_AGENT_FAILURE Could not add identity: /home/abe/.ssh/id_ed25519 -- System Information: Debian Release: jessie/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (990, 'unstable'), (900, 'testing'), (899, 'testing-proposed-updates'), (600, 'stable'), (500, 'proposed-updates'), (200, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 3.13-trunk-686-pae (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_DK.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_DK.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages openssh-client depends on: ii adduser 3.113+nmu3 ii dpkg 1.17.6 ii libc6 2.17-97 ii libedit2 3.1-20130712-2 ii libgssapi-krb5-2 1.12+dfsg-2 ii libselinux1 2.2.2-1 ii libssl1.0.0 1.0.1f-1 ii passwd 1:4.1.5.1-1 ii zlib1g 1:1.2.8.dfsg-1 Versions of packages openssh-client recommends: ii xauth 1:1.0.7-1 Versions of packages openssh-client suggests: ii keychain 2.7.1-1 pn libpam-ssh <none> ii monkeysphere 0.36-1 ii ssh-askpass-fullscreen [ssh-askpass] 0.4-0.1 -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
