ssh-agent was working fine for me over a year ago. I am sorry I cannot
tell you what version I was running then. I upgraded a few times since
then (now running 1.5.22) and I started getting "Could not open a
connection to your authentication agent." from ssh-add. I found that if
I call ssh-agent on the command line and then issue the set and export
commands myself, then ssh-add works fine. It's just when I use "eval
`ssh-agent`" that ssh-add fails. With "eval `ssh-agent`" the env vars
are fine, the socket file is in /tmp, the agent process is running,
SSH_AUTH_SOCK is set and exported - basically it all looks like it
should work - but ssh-add does not work. If anyone can explain this or
at least tell me how to fix it, I would greatly appreciate it.
WAG: Does "eval `ssh-agent | d2u`" work any better?
cheers,

Thank you for the quick reply, Dave.
d2u doesn't seem to make any difference. I get the same behavior with or
without it.
