Re: How to specify identity with forwarded agent?

I've loaded a couple of keys into the ssh-agent on my workstation, then

exist. It's right of course, it is back on my WS.

I've tried with and without paths, and exactly what 'ssh-add -l' shows
me on hosta, but no joy. Can somebody offer a clue?

All systems OpenSSH 4.1p1, WS is Linux, hosta & hostb are AIX 5.3

Just install the appropriate public keys into the appropriate
authorized_keys files. Load all the matching private keys into the agent
and it should use the right one depending on which user/server you're
connecting to.
