- Thread-topic: Terminal and keychain?
I should perhaps have made clear that the upgrade of my computers was from 10.12.1, not some earlier version. The link below is to a case that someone was having in mid July. My systems were working normally with ssh getting the RSA key passwords from the keychain without prompting as recently as a couple of days ago. Someone else noticed the issue essentially immediately upon upgrading.
It looks to me like the 10.12.2 upgrade (from 10.12.1) broke it.
I would note again that I did try the ssh-add -K command, which I think loads the keychain, and that did not produce a persistent fix, although I was able to login to the remote machine once immediately after issuing the ssh-add command. I have not done systematic checks to follow this up yet however.
