I could be wrong, but I beleve ForwardAgent just ALLOWS agent forwarding.
I believe that it enables it, and setting it in the ssh_config is the equivalent of -A. I have tried it both ways and the machine persists in asking for a password. The password request comes so quickly that I suspect it does not have time to go to the other server, and the connection is being intercepted by PAM, though I have not been able to find anyone else having such a problem (who knows if anyone else even uses FC5 this way).
I am presently pursuing this line of inquiry for openssh, researching PAM, and trying futilely to recompile ssh-3.2.9-1 for FC5 64-bit. One of them will return a solution eventually.
Thanks for your help Jason Powers
You stil need to ssh -A [EMAIL PROTECTED] Usage: ssh [options] host [command] Options: -l user Log in using this user name. -n Redirect input from /dev/null. -F config Config file (default: ~/.ssh/config). -A Enable authentication agent forwarding. -a Disable authentication agent forwarding (default).
