Hallo list,

was there some significant change from openssh 10.0 to 10.2 regarding=20
login with ssh-agent active?
Whenever I try to connect remotey I get denied with the error message
"# unknown answer from ssh agent".
This even happens when the agent has no keys loaded. The only way to=20
avoid it is not running the agent and logging in with password.
It seems to occur both with the openssh agent and the windows putty=20
agent (pageant).

Also I noticed the default location for the ssh-agent communication=20
socket has changed from /tmp/ssh-*/* to ~/.ssh/agent/s.* (this one is=20
documented in the 10.1 release notes earlier). This adds the requirement=20
that the ssh-agent has to clean up stale sockets instead of the OS doing=20
it automatically for /tmp, and the socket name contains some truncated=20
hashed hostname (e.g. for NFS filesystems).

Stay healthy,
Thomas
