I have a really troubling problem. I can't get
gpg-agent
to remove my SSH key from its keyring and it even persists there after many reboots.
$ ssh-add -D
SSH_AGENT_FAILURE
Failed to remove all identities.
Even when I tell it to remove the identity:
$ ssh-add -d /path/to/private/key
Identity removed: /path/to/private/key
I then look
$ ssh-add -l
4096 1b:cb:52:a6:e5:13:e6:78:14:12:92:8f:34:8f:92:88 /path/to/private/key
and it's still there.
Where is this being cached? It seems to be writing to disk for some reason, which is a scary thing for a SSH agent to do. I'm running the following to start gpg-agent
:
gpg-agent --enable-ssh-support --daemon
Everything else works fine, but it's caching this file somewhere and I need to delete it.
