Thanks for the quick response. No. No changes. I first noticed it on a brand new MacBook Pro, but I checked two other computers that have not had that stuff touched in ages and both of them are asking for the RSA key passwords as well. I set this up so long ago on these two machines that I would be hard pressed to remember what I did. This one is a 2012 MBP that I’m just replacing now. It’s my “research” machine. The other is my “home” machine. It’s an Air, but it’s also a couple of years old and very stable.
I don’t recall the last time that things worked as expected but it can’t have been longer ago than Monday, I think. I updated the OS yesterday and last night on all of these machines to 10.12.2. If I were a betting person, I’d bet that that broke it. I’ve got one other machine at home that I can check on that hasn’t been upgraded yet. I’m going to guess that it will be ok, although I use the terminal and ssh with it much less than with the three I just mentioned.

For as long as I can remember I have not had to manually unlock an RSA key, and suddenly across all of my machines this has become necessary. I tried an ssh-add -K and that seemed to work once, but later when I was going back to one of my remote machines, it once gain asked for the RSA key password. I’m not sure that this is an appropriate question for this list, but if not, I really don’t know who to ask. Did you change anything else? We already know that recent Sierra updates changed the default configuration of ssh in ways that affected X11 forwarding; possibly they also disabled the agent by default, or caused it to time out. -- brandon s allbery kf8nh sine nomine associates [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> unix, openafs, kerberos, infrastructure, xmonad http://sinenomine.net<http://sinenomine.net/>
