 Posted: Wed Nov 14, 2007 11:12 pm Post subject: keychain not setting environmental variables |
 |
|
i am having problems with keychain. it seems to set the SSH environmental variables incorrectly.
for instance i can get my ssh-agent to work manually
| Code: |
> eval `ssh-agent`
Agent pid 20703
> ssh-add
Enter passphrase for /home/alex/.ssh/id_dsa:
Identity added: /home/alex/.ssh/id_dsa (/home/alex/.ssh/id_dsa)
|
then if i kill ssh-agent and clear my variables and try to run keychain. i get
| Code: |
> ssh-agent -k
unset SSH_AUTH_SOCK;
unset SSH_AGENT_PID;
echo Agent pid 20841 killed;
> keychain
KeyChain 2.6.8; http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/keychain/

Could not open a connection to your authentication agent.

the contents of the keychain files are correct:
| Code: |
> pgrep ssh-agent
20737
> cat .keychain/dong-sh
SSH_AUTH_SOCK=/tmp/ssh-Oushy20736/agent.20736; export SSH_AUTH_SOCK;
SSH_AGENT_PID=20737; export SSH_AGENT_PID;
> env | grep SSH
|
but it is obviously not being evaluated if i
| Code: |
> eval `cat .keychain/dong-sh`
> env | grep SSH
SSH_AGENT_PID=20906
SSH_AUTH_SOCK=/tmp/ssh-CSuMw20905/agent.20905
> ssh-add
Enter passphrase for /home/alex/.ssh/id_dsa:
Identity added: /home/alex/.ssh/id_dsa (/home/alex/.ssh/id_dsa)

it works. whats is supposed to evaluate this and how can i fix this? or am i missing somthing? |
