OS X Keeps prompting me for SSH private key passphrase (OS X 10.6.8)
- by Danny Englander
I have a private key to ssh into my server and the connection works. In my hosts file I have:
Host myhost
HostName xxx.xxx.xxx.xx
GlobalKnownHostsFile ~/.ssh/known_hosts
port 22
User myuser
IdentityFile ~/.ssh/mykey_dsa
IdentitiesOnly yes
.. and then I type ssh myhost
Every time I connect, I get the Mac OS X keychain…
