it took me quite a while to find the reason, but it seems like apt-dater doesn't always use the configured ssh options. I tried to set a custom SSH key file by adding '-i ~/.ssh/apt-dater_rsa' to OptionalCmdFlags in

OptionalCmdFlags was not intended to be used this way, but I've fixed
it upstream [1].

As a workaround you might use the SpawnAgent / AddKeys options. In
the hosts.conf file each host group can have a IdentityFile key which
would work, too.

Thanks for the prompt reply. I wasn't aware of the options you mentioned. Thanks for the hint. Using SpawnAgent and AddKeys does exactly what I was searching for.

SpawnAgent and Addkeys options are documented in the apt-dater.conf(5) manpage, but is the IdentityFile option mentioned anywhere in the docs at all? At least I was unable to find it.

My initial problem is resolved, but I suggest to keep this bugreport open until the upstream fix is merged into the debian package.

Regards,
 jonas
