Package: keychain Version: 2.6.8-2 Severity: normal
When SSH_AUTH_SOCK is not set, keychain --inherit any never finds an existing ssh-agent. It always starts a new one: $ echo $SSH_AUTH_SOCK $ cat .keychain/helium-sh SSH_AUTH_SOCK=/tmp/ssh-AeUWcuq462/agent.462; export SSH_AUTH_SOCK; SSH_AGENT_PID=463; export SSH_AGENT_PID; $ pgrep -U andrex ssh-agent 463 $ keychain --inherit any KeyChain 2.6.8; http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/keychain/ Copyright 2002-2004 Gentoo Foundation; Distributed under the GPL * Initializing /home/andrex/.keychain/helium-sh file... * Initializing /home/andrex/.keychain/helium-csh file... * Initializing /home/andrex/.keychain/helium-fish file... * Starting ssh-agent * Inheriting gpg-agent (32013) * Initializing /home/andrex/.keychain/helium-sh-gpg file... * Initializing /home/andrex/.keychain/helium-csh-gpg file... * Initializing /home/andrex/.keychain/helium-fish-gpg file... $ pgrep -U andrex ssh-agent 463 872 In this case keychain should have found the existing ssh-agent, but instead it started a new one. Note that if SSH_AUTH_SOCK is set, then keychain --inherit any does the right thing and inherits the socket for the existing agent. Similarly, keychain --inherit any will start a new gpg-agent even if one is already running, if GPG_AGENT_INFO is unset. For now, the workaround is to use keychain --inherit any-once, which works as described in the man page, although it's not exactly what I want.
