            Bug ID: 2024
          Assignee: unassigned-bugs at mindrot.org
           Summary: Allow to ssh client say to ssh-agent which key should
                    be used.
          Severity: enhancement
    Classification: Unclassified
                OS: Linux
          Reporter: pub at mnu.pp.ru
          Hardware: Other
            Status: NEW
           Version: 6.0p1
         Component: ssh-agent
           Product: Portable OpenSSH

There is no way to say ssh-agent which one of keys should be used.
That's why it tries to use all of them in order and if you have more
than 5 keys, you will receive "Too many authentication failures for".

It's bad and I have no idea how to workaround this problem without
modification of source code.
