Facing error: "Could not open a connection to your authentication agent."; trying to add ssh-key.
- by Kaustubh P
I use ubuntu server 10.04.
ssh-add /foo/cert.pem gave the following output
Could not open a connection to your
authentication agent.
These are my running processes:
ps -aux | grep ssh
Warning: bad ps syntax, perhaps a bogus '-'? See http://procps.sf.net/faq.html

These are my environment variables:

SSH_TTY=/dev/pts/1
SSH_CONNECTION=192.168.1.13 42626 192.168.1.2 22
What is wrong? Why cant I add any identities?
Thanks.
