Summary: ssh-add on Cygwin -- can't access ssh-agent socket
Product: Portable OpenSSH
Version: v4.5p1
Platform: ix86
OS/Version: Cygwin on NT/2k
Status: NEW
Severity: major
Priority: P2
Component: ssh-add
AssignedTo: bitbucket at mindrot.org
ReportedBy: richw at richw.org
I'm running OpenSSH 4.5p1 / OpenSSL 0.9.8e, installed as part of Cygwin
1.5.24(0.156/4/2) on a PC running WinXP Pro SP2.
I can't get ssh-agent / ssh-add to work. I get the following errors
when I try to add an identity via ssh-add:
Error reading response length from authentication socket.
Error writing to authentication socket.
As best I can tell, I invoked ssh-agent properly; the subshell from
which I'm trying to run ssh-add does have the proper SSH_AUTH_SOCK and
SSH_AGENT_PID values, and the socket is readable/writable by me.
Ssh-add and ssh-agent work perfectly for me on an older Cygwin
installation (OpenSSH 3.9p1 / OpenSSL 0.9.7e / Cygwin
1.5.12(0.116/4/2).
