As an additional note. The export is failing and so `ssh-agent -k` is failing but ssh-agent is running as I can confirm with `pidof ssh-agent`. The envs are not set correctly, that is the problem. To me, this looks normal. If you use the command: ssh-agent bash Then it will export its environment variable to the "bash" shell that it starts. But if you just use: ssh-agent then there is no subcommand to which it can export. You should probably be using: eval `ssh-agent -s` or eval $(ssh-agent -s) When starting "ssh-agent" this way, its output is caught by the shell and then run as a shell command. And the shell then exports the needed variables. Check the man pages for "ssh-agent". Yeah oops. Does seem to be a misunderstanding on my part. |
Created attachment 876048 [details] ssh-agent strace In a bash shell, launching ssh-agent is unable to export its variables after launching. I observed this both on a desktop and a headless MicroOS system both running aarch64 CPUs from different vendors and different microarchitectures. So I believe this to be an aarch64 specific bug. The ssh-agent binary is part of the openssh-clients package which is built from the openssh.spec. Observed behaviour: $ ssh-agent SSH_AUTH_SOCK=/tmp/ssh-XXXXXX4k26MF/agent.26053; export SSH_AUTH_SOCK; SSH_AGENT_PID=26054; export SSH_AGENT_PID; echo Agent pid 26054; $ ssh-agent -k SSH_AGENT_PID not set, cannot kill agent $ printenv | grep -i SSH $ System Info: openSUSE Tumbleweed Aarch64 VERSION_ID="20240629" openssh-clients-9.6p1-11.1.aarch64 SELinux originally Enforcing, but using setenforce changed to Permissive. No change. Attached is an strace of running ssh-agent.
