Talk:Homework 4

From CSI 702

1. Possible Issues

When I tried to add the passphrase in RAM I kept getting the error "Could not open a connection to your authentication agent." when I did an ssh-add. To fix the problem I did the following:

zfirth@CDS02:~> eval 'ssh-agent -s'

zfirth@CDS02:~> ssh-add

The -s seemed to fix the problem for me.

2. Other solution

A suggestion that worked for me:

Instead, you can try typing

CDS02:~> eval `ssh-agent`

paying careful attention to the fact that the ' is really a ` --which is the character on the same key as the tilde (upper left).
