Hi all,
There was a thread on here recently about ssh agent forwarding. Usually I start it like this:
<code> ssh-agent ssh-add </code>
I came across a situation where I couldn't establish a connection to the agent when I tried to "ssh-add" my keys. ssh-agent had been executed already. It had somehow become discombobulated.
The solution was to invoke ssh-agent differently:
<code> eval `ssh-agent -s` ssh-add </code>
Hope that saves somebody else some headaches ;D
