This bug has hit me quite hard in the last week, breaking a number of automated ssh processes that have been working without a hitch prior to sometime after Monday evening (8 December, UTC+8) this week. I can pin it down to that because each Monday and Friday evening I use a scripted ssh tunnel to connect a pgAdmin III client to a remote Postgres database. It worked last Monday, it didn't in between. Sometime after Monday this week, other ssh processes also broke.
I'm providing this info in case it helps someone pin down what changed to cause this problem. I'm surprised it's only flagged as affecting 4 people! -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to openssh in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1380084 Title: SSH client requires SSH_AUTH_SOCK=0 will not work without it, can't use key auth without SSH_AUTH_SOCK=0 Status in openssh package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: I expect that when using key based authentication I do $ssh [email protected] I expect to be asked for the key password. Instead I get Agent admitted failure to sign using the key. Permission denied (publickey). Using SSH_AUTH_SOCK=0 solves the problem allowing me to be asked for the key password.
