I mis-understood the ssh-add man page. Invoked as 'ssh-add' it does not seek any or all identities, but doesn't find any that match the passphrase. Re-reading Robert's message I saw that he explicitly specifies the identity file name. I just did this, and my passphrase was accepted: $ ssh-add ~/.ssh/id_ed25519 Enter passphrase for /home/rshepard/.ssh/id_ed25519: Identity added: /home/rshepard/.ssh/id_ed25519 (rshepard@salmo) Although I read the man page several times I mis-interpreted how to correctly issue the command. This is another lesson learned. Thanks, all who responded, Rich _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
