If I understand correctly your problem, I think you can use the ssh_config setting 'PreferredAuthentications while using ssh (ssh -o PreferredAuthentications password) to have it prefer the password over the key when you don't want it to use the key. Another option is to disable the ssh-agent bg process which caches your keys and will use them automatically, if this is disabled, then I'm pretty sure you'll need to explicitly set the key with the -i command.
Hope this helps. -- ssh server forces a command when it should not https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/161047 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to openssh in ubuntu. -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
