Hi,
Let me ask this question here, as elsewhere I got no answer.
For some time I was unable to ssh from my computer to another old one. I thought it would be a version problem, but then I discovered I could not ssh to my own router as my normal user, but I could do su-ing to a different user first.
I then discovered that this sequence works:
cer@nimrodel:~> SSH_AGENT_PID='' SSH_ASKPASS='' SSH_AUTH_SOCK='' ssh 1234@router 1234@router's password: ->
So there is a broken ssh agent in my system. But which one? One day I killed most of them, and from then on I can ssh sucessfully.
I have three running now (after a fresh reboot and an hybernate to disk):
cer@nimrodel:~> ps axu | grep agent cer 5614 0.0 0.0 2980 604 ? Ss 09:14 0:00 /usr/bin/gpg-agent --sh --daemon cer 5615 0.0 0.0 5456 700 ?

Do you save your session? It kind of looks like you have multiple
session controlled agents.
