'Too many auth failures' message appearing when there's no need
These days I run my ssh-agent the old-fashioned way (no Gnome or whatever in the way that tries to auto-load a bunch of other keys). So everything works smooth, thanks elijah!
There's 1 corner case, where the message about the 'Are 'too many authentication failures' getting you down?' message pops up, but it shouldn't: when for example your local network connectivity goes down:
root@urchin:~# root@urchin:~# Write failed: Broken pipe Are 'too many authentication failures' getting you down? Then we have the solution for you! Add something like this to your ~/.ssh/config file: Host *.bitmask.net IdentityFile ~/.ssh/id_rsa IdentitiesOnly=yes (replace `id_rsa` with the actual private key filename that you use for this provider)
This is almost cosmetic, so putting on low priority, leaving target version open.
