I've searched the FAQ and the list archives for the solution to this problem, and asked knowlegeable people, but to no avail. Rather than spam the list with tons of ssh-v output, I've put it up at http://valla.uchicago.edu/ssh-v/, and referred to it below as appropriate.
I am running OpenSSH_2.9p2 on a Debian GNU/Linux (Sid) system, and I can't use ssh-agent to connect to some hosts, but for some I can. Some of these are running commerical SSH, but many are running OpenSSH. For the hosts to which I can't agent-connect, I can agent-connect from another machine, running Debian Potato, but I have a cow orker who has a similar problem on Red Hat 7.something. Also, if I forward my agent, I can connect to the otherwise un-agentable hosts. The output of ssh -v has not been very illuminating to me. For a successful host, it looks like this (remote host also running OpenSSH 2.9p2, on redhat 6.2): http://valla.uchicago.edu/ssh-v/good-a.txt Another successful host is running Solaris 8 and SSH 1.2.31: http://valla.uchicago.edu/ssh-v/good-b.txt Unsuccessful hosts are running Solaris 8/OpenSSH 2.5.2p2 and Some version of Debian/OpenSSH 2.3.0p1. Logs at: http://valla.uchicago.edu/ssh-v/bad-a.txt http://valla.uchicago.edu/ssh-v/bad-b.txt Again, to both of these "bad" hosts I can connect by forwarding my agent from a "good"host. I and the aforementioned cow orker have both been struggling with this for a while. I don't know what in my ssh_config might cause this, but I've posted it at http://valla.uchicago.edu/ssh-v/ssh_config. I've also posted one of the "bad" sshd_configs at http://valla.uchicago.edu/ssh-v/sshd_config I hope I've been reasonably succinct, and I thank you for any help you can offer.
