Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: gnome-keyring
I'm not sure I have described it correctly in the summary, but this is what
happens:
I run ssh-add in a new terminal and enter my passphrase, which is the same for
my DSA and ECDSA key: the DSA identity is added, but the ECDSA gets the "Error
reading response length from authentication socket. Could not add identity:
/home/claudio/.ssh/id_ecdsa" error.
I run ssh-agent, copy and paste the output in the terminal and re-run ssh-add.
Both identities are correctly added:
============================================================================
claudio@Chuck:~$ ssh-add
Enter passphrase for /home/claudio/.ssh/id_dsa:
Identity added: /home/claudio/.ssh/id_dsa (/home/claudio/.ssh/id_dsa)
Error reading response length from authentication socket.
Could not add identity: /home/claudio/.ssh/id_ecdsa
claudio@Chuck:~$ ssh-agent
SSH_AUTH_SOCK=/tmp/ssh-szGWMUbE3916/agent.3916; export SSH_AUTH_SOCK;
SSH_AGENT_PID=3917; export SSH_AGENT_PID;
echo Agent pid 3917;
claudio@Chuck:~$ SSH_AUTH_SOCK=/tmp/ssh-szGWMUbE3916/agent.3916; export
SSH_AUTH_SOCK;
claudio@Chuck:~$ SSH_AGENT_PID=3917; export SSH_AGENT_PID;
claudio@Chuck:~$ echo Agent pid 3917;
Agent pid 3917
claudio@Chuck:~$ ssh-add
Enter passphrase for /home/claudio/.ssh/id_dsa:
Identity added: /home/claudio/.ssh/id_dsa (/home/claudio/.ssh/id_dsa)
Identity added: /home/claudio/.ssh/id_ecdsa (/home/claudio/.ssh/id_ecdsa)
