Why don't you ssh into box2 directly? Anyway: if you use a ssh-agent on your local box, you can forward the connection to it by doing ssh -A box1 From box1 you should now be able to ssh into box2 using the keys your local ssh-agent provides access to. The downside of using -A (or setting AgentForward in the config) is that anyone with sufficient rights to access the forwarded agent socket on box1 can use that to ssh into the other boxes impersonating you - i. e. a potential security risk you should be aware of. A different way to achieve your goal might be making use of OpenSSH's ProxyCommand option. But I don't know from the top of my head what exactly would have to be done. -- Regards mks -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/admin/lists/users@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
