I've read a great deal of similar issues, but haven't yet found the answer.
SSH forwarding between my MinGW (Windows 7) host and an Ubuntu Precise VM, provisioned with Vagrant, is not working.
Firstly, all is fine and well on the MinGW side:
$ ssh-add -L
ssh-rsa [SNIP!] /j/.ssh/id_rsa
So I know my key is currently loaded.
Next up, my Vagrantfile has the right config for forwrding the keys:
config.ssh.forward_agent = true
Finally, inside my Ubuntu Precise VM ~/.bash_profile looks like this:
SSH_ENV="$HOME/.ssh/environment"
function start_agent {
echo "Initialising new SSH agent..."
/usr/bin/ssh-agent | sed 's/^echo/#echo/' > "${SSH_ENV}"
echo succeeded
chmod 600 "${SSH_ENV}"
. "${SSH_ENV}" > /dev/null
/usr/bin/ssh-add;
}
# Source SSH settings, if applicable
if [ -f "${SSH_ENV}" ]; then
. "${SSH_ENV}" > /dev/null
#ps ${SSH_AGENT_PID} doesn't work under cywgin
ps -ef | grep ${SSH_AGENT_PID} | grep ssh-agent$ > /dev/null || {
start_agent;
}
else
start_agent;
fi
Sadly logging in with vagrant ssh -- -A doesn't yield the key being available, and nor does SSHing in directly:

The agent has no identities.
Am I doing something wrong with the way ssh-agent is started? I can imagine that if it's in .bash_profile then it gets reloaded, thereby resetting the keys it has stored?
