I have .ssh key files that I generated years ago. I copied them to ~/.ssh on my ubuntu system. Most of the time when I use ssh to run a command on another system it works fine. Once in 50 times ssh hangs locally. This is not a network problem ... same issue happens with "localhost". E.g. if I run: $ while : > do ssh localhost date > done It will print the date a few dozen times, then the loop hangs (^C interrupts it). I tried using strace to see what was happening. The ssh process was hung reading from a socket. Looking back through the strace, the socket was connected to some local keyring thing. Here are some relevent lines from strace output: socket(PF_FILE, SOCK_STREAM, 0) = 4 fcntl(4, F_SETFD, FD_CLOEXEC) = 0 connect(4, {sa_family=AF_FILE, path="/tmp/keyring-fed2nU/ssh"}, 110) = 0 write(4, "\0\0\0\1", 4) = 4 write(4, "\v", 1) = 1 read(4, "\0\0\2h", 4) = 4 read(4, "\f\0\0\0\2\0\0\0\225\0\0\0\7ssh-rsa\0\0\0\1#\0\0\0\201"..., 616) = 616 write(3, "$K \250\310\200\247\266-\25\257\212f\226h\234\f\275a\310"..., 64) = 64 select(4, [3], NULL, NULL, NULL) = 1 (in [3]) read(3, "\34t\351\267\262/\362\315\33\r\3019\301\361dX\264\276\377"..., 8192) = 80 futex(0x7f956651f2e0, 0x81 /* FUTEX_??? */, 2147483647) = 0 futex(0x7f956651f160, 0x81 /* FUTEX_??? */, 2147483647) = 0 futex(0x7f9567385450, 0x81 /* FUTEX_??? */, 2147483647) = 0 futex(0x7f9567159590, 0x81 /* FUTEX_??? */, 2147483647) = 0 futex(0x7f95671599d0, 0x81 /* FUTEX_??? */, 2147483647) = 0 .... open("/dev/urandom", O_RDONLY) = 5 fstat(5, {st_mode=S_IFCHR|0666, st_rdev=makedev(1, 9), ...}) = 0 read(5, "\21\207y;\216\357\361\37\310\230\300\211GYpr\236a\235\t"..., 20) = 20 close(5) = 0 write(3, "\314\331h\3711\274\2...@\201\201vg\ro\230\273d\277&8X2"..., 240) = 240 select(4, [3], NULL, NULL, NULL) = 1 (in [3]) read(3, "\234?r\352\30(\373T\277!bm\224W\30P\247\270\313\234\341"..., 8192) = 192 brk(0x7f95690d9000) = 0x7f95690d9000 brk(0x7f95690d8000) = 0x7f95690d8000 write(4, "\0\0\1\207", 4) = 4 write(4, "\r\0\0\0\225\0\0\0\7ssh-rsa\0\0\0\1#\0\0\0\201\0\300\r"..., 391) = 391 read(4, 0x7fff703fa880, 4) = ?
