ssh-agent and ssh-add with openssh-2.2.0p1 on Redhat 7

[Darren Evans]

Hi all,

i'm trying to figure out if i'm being silly or if there is a genuine problem.

Running on the notorious Redhat 7, 2.2.16-22 #1, X86.

[user at host]$ ssh-agent -s
SSH_AUTH_SOCK=/tmp/ssh-XXYFcFR6/agent.2101; export SSH_AUTH_SOCK;
SSH_AGENT_PID=2102; export SSH_AGENT_PID;
echo Agent pid 2102;
[user at host]$ echo $SSH_AUTH_SOCK

[user at host]$ echo $SSH_AGENT_PID

[user at host]$ ssh-add
Could not open a connection to your authentication agent.
[user at host]$ ls -l /tmp/ssh-XXYFcFR6/
total 0
srwxrwxr-x    1 user user        0 Oct 30 14:26 agent.2101

Is the next version is due reasonably soon?

thanks
Darren
