Still seeking this goal. :-) After modifying ~/.bash_profile to invoke ssh-agent I sourced the file, then tried ssh-add which did not work: $ ssh-add Enter passphrase for /home/rshepard/.ssh/id_ed25519: Could not add identity "/home/rshepard/.ssh/id_ed25519": agent refused operation Searching for this error (without the string in quotes) using duckduckgo produced many hits on running ssh-add, but none explicitiy explaining the cause of this error message. The man page does not offer an option of specifying which identity to use (I have only the one). Google finds many hits (primarily Ubuntu users) about missing identities when running ssh-add, but none (on the first page of hits) about ssh-add refusing to add an existing identity. Would be nice to learn why. Rich _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list PLUG@lists.pdxlinux.org http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
