why can't I connect to my ssh server UNLESS I enter eval "$(ssh-agent -s)" first?

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I am not sure I "solved" this but when I add this to my startup script for my terminal (~/.zshrc):
it works then. I am not sure I'm still using the ssh agent, but at least it also does not cache my passphrase/private key
Do you have that file? If not, then
unset SSH_AUTH_SOCK
will work just as well.If it does exist, then I suppose it has good chances of working correctly :).
ssh-add -l
will try to use that socket and list your keys in the service (or list nothing if there are no keys, but it would still work without error).
