Steven, are they actually prompting for your *login password*, or is it
the passphrase for your ssh key? The two would indicate different
problems.
Ahhh - Interesting. Instead of ~/.ssh/identity being used, I needed to
symlink ~/.ssh/id_rsa to ~/.ssh/identity.
The weird thing is that my setup of using ~/.ssh/identity has worked
perfectly for many years - but has only now stopped.
Has this been a change in ssh or something else I'm not aware of?
