Also on x86-64 with maverick. Another post suggested looking at $SSH_AUTH_SOCK which is "/tmp/keyring- bp0Sgd/ssh" so indeed it seems to be a keyring problem.
I have gnome-keyring package version 2.92.92.is.2.31.91-0ubuntu4.1 The problem occurred just after re-creating my dsa key pair (I had inadvertently overwritten the old private key). After copying the private key into the host machines 'authorized_keys" file, ssh failed with: Agent admitted failure to sign using the key. Permission denied (publickey). no request for the key's password was made. running "ssh-add" re-requested the password for the key and subsequently ssh worked. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to openssh in ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/201786 Title: ssh Agent admitted failure to sign using the key on big endian machines -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
