Problem sshing from puma to hector

Description

Hi,

I'm having problems submitting jobs to Hector this afternoon because I can't establish an ssh connection from Puma to Hector. Each time I submit a job it asks for my passphrase on machine phase2b. I tried setting up my ssh agent on puma again, but when I type ssh-add I get the error "Could not open a connection to your authentication agent."

Is there a problem with Puma or is there some problem with my account?

Thanks,
Kirsty

Hi Kirsty,

Your ssh agent has stopped running for some reason.

Try the following to get it going again:
(This assumes you have the standard setup as per ​ssh instructions)

1) Delete the file $HOME/.ssh/environment.puma on PUMA
2) Log out of PUMA and log back in again. You should see a message saying "initialising new ssh-agent"
3) Run ssh-add which should then prompt for your passphrase.

You should then be able to login to HECToR from PUMA without the password prompt.

Cheers,
Ros.
