why can't I connect to my ssh server UNLESS I enter eval "$(ssh-agent -s)" first?
(lemmy.dbzer0.com)
I have my own ssh server (on raspberry pi 5, Ubuntu Server 23) but when I try to connect from my PC using key authentication (having password disabled), I get a blank screen. A blinking cursor.
However, once I enter the command eval "$(ssh-agent -s)" and try ssh again, I successfully login after entering my passphrase. I don't want to issue this command every time. Is that possible?
This does not occur when I have password enabled on the ssh server. Also, ideally, I want to enter my passphrase EVERYTIME I connect to my server, so ideally I don't want it to be stored in cache or something. I want the passphrase to be a lil' password so that other people can't accidentally connect to my server when they use my PC.
Do you have that file? If not, then
unset SSH_AUTH_SOCKwill work just as well.If it does exist, then I suppose it has good chances of working correctly :).
ssh-add -lwill try to use that socket and list your keys in the service (or list nothing if there are no keys, but it would still work without error).
