NAME

noagent — run a command without using the SSH agent's stored keys

SYNOPSIS

DESCRIPTION

The noagent utility executes the specified command with the SSH_AGENT_PID and SSH_AUTH_SOCK variables removed from its environment. This is useful when connecting to various SSH servers that do not really understand the concept of public key authentication to the point of actually breaking the connection when the client sends several public keys.

RETURN VALUES

The noagent utility uses the shell's exec builtin command so that the return value of the command actually executed is passed on.

ENVIRONMENT

The noagent utility's operation is currently not directly affected by its environment; it affects the environment instead :)

FILES

The noagent utility's operation is currently not directly affected by any files.

EXAMPLES

Connect to a server without agent authentication

SEE ALSO

ssh(1), ssh-agent(1)

HISTORY

The noagent utility was written by Peter Pentchev in 2009.
