Hi,

is there some limitation of number of keys
simultaneously loaded into ssh-agent? I loaded
9 keys and 8. and 9. key don't work. I obtain
messege

        Received disconnect from X.X.X.X: 2: \
        Too many authentication failures for root

when i try to login. When I load these two keys
separate, all works fine.

Thanks!
OldFrog.
