Package: openssh-client
Version: 1:6.6p1-4~bpo70+1
I start 2 vnc sessions at boot time using cron, e.g.
% crontab -l
@reboot ssh-agent vncserver :42
@reboot sleep 3; ssh-agent vncserver :43
UID != 0
Problem: The first ssh-agent gets killed. Suspect is the
second agent. The first vnc session has no connection to
an ssh-agent. Besides that, both are fine. SSH_AGENT_PID
and SSH_AUTH_SOCK are defined in both sessions, but of
course they do not match.
If I login on the console, then libpam-ssh gives me yet
another new ssh-agent, and the 2nd vncserver agent is
pushing up the daisies, too.
The man page doesn't say "only one ssh-agent per user".
>From my understanding they should not interfere with each
other. Esp. SSH_AUTH_SOCK is based on the agent's PID to
make sure that several agents can run in parallel.
Further the agents should not die while their children
are still running.
