My SSH agent forwarding is not working. The answer from this question is quite old and the answer is conflicting with the comments. Can we have an updated answer please?
Basically I can SSH from computer A to computer B, or from computer A to computer C, but not from computer A to computer B, then computer B to computer C. When connecting from computer A to either computer B or computer C, I always use ssh -A
to force SSH agent forwarding. But Iām still not able to connect computer A -> computer B -> computer C without being asked for a passphrase.
echo "$SSH_AUTH_SOCK"
works both on the server and my local machine, but on SSH from A -> B, ssh-add -l
yields:
The agent has no identities.
Whereas it lists two keys on A.
All three machines are configured with the standard Ubuntu SSH configuration without any changes, the content of /etc/ssh/ssh_config
and /etc/ssh/sshd_config
are posted at http://paste.ubuntu.com/11482964/.
EDIT: as per request,
Here is the log of -Avvv

Have you attempted to debug this by simply running the SSH command with the
-v
(verbose) option? If you do so, please add the output of a non-working connection to this post so we can all see what the output would look like; fee free to neuter it to get rid of personal specifics if you wish to be a anonymous in details. ā JakeGould ā 2015-05-31T22:39:57.313
