In looking toward upgrading to Ubuntu 20.04.1, I think I will have some machines on 18.04 for a while. I decided to install the unison-jz snap to prevent a version mismatch. Even though I have an ssh-agent running, I keep it around with keychain, and I am able to login to my remote host without a passphrase prompt outside of unison-jz, it always prompts me for the passphrase for my id_rsa file.

I have tried to compare the output of ssh -v from both ssh and unison-jz's invocation of ssh (by setting sshargs = -v in my preferences file, but I cannot tell what the difference is.

Any suggestions for what to do next?

  • Read `man ssh-add ssh-copy-id`. – waltinator Sep 04 '20 at 18:51
  • Thanks @waltinator, but "I am able to login to my remote host without a passphrase prompt outside of unison-jz" So I have all of the usual ssh-agent, ssh-add mechanisms working. They just don't work with the ssh invoked by unison-jz. I am trying to figure out why not. – Daniel Doherty Sep 05 '20 at 10:15
