[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1195911] Re: ssh: Received disconnect from xx.yy.zz.aa: 2: Too many authentication failures for XXXX
I see this bug is still open. One work-around exists where ~/.ssh/config is used. Make an entry there for the host (or range of hosts using a pattern) and assign the right key using IdentityFile while also setting IdentitiesOnly to "yes". Both parts are needed for the work-around. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-keyring in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1195911 Title: ssh: Received disconnect from xx.yy.zz.aa: 2: Too many authentication failures for Status in GNOME Keyring: Confirmed Status in gnome-keyring package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: When trying to connect using ssh, I get this error: Received disconnect from xx.yy.zz.aa: 2: Too many authentication failures for It appears that for some reason Lubuntu's agent somehow arbitrarily pulls in some keys and, despite not being asked to, tries to use them for authentication and won't let me try the password.
