I know it's used in the remote connection feature on terminal but I've never made a remote connection to anyone. We need to replace the value of SSHAUTHSOCK with our custom value. I ran the 5 terminal commands suggested and one of the things that the terminal printed for the third command pipeline was -agent. that default system plist (/System/Library/LaunchAgents/).

Phone and chat support it seems are not well equipped to deal with these sort of very legitimate technical questions and have otherwise been surprisingly misinformed, occasionally contradicting each other entirely. All major features are documented here including Auto-Type, SSH Agent integration, and KeeShare Build and install instructions, and other technical guides, can be found in the Wiki. I believe I may have been hacked based on a a ton of different things that I'm still trying to sort out. Since you can see when it's running and kill it manually ( killall ssh-agent) you should have good success with this extra info on launch daemon that's not on most articles for unix management of this ssh tool.Is there any word on what this agent/daemon(?) is and how it got onto my computer? Is it normal that it comes up when entering the launchctl command? Can I verify somehow that it's configuration files are all set to not let someone remotely this computer? The daemons like this system one are being transitioned from the old 'unload' syntax to the new 'enable|disable' syntax, so you might get different results from my above commands on different versions and builds of macOS. Launchctl unload -w /System/Library/LaunchAgents/

If you want to unload / disable this you need to find where the preference is stored then edit it or tell launchctl to unload (permanently) that item: mdfind ssh-agent|grep plist

Here's an example how it shows an error with this specific agent on my Mac and a helpful warning that I need to disable SIP before futzing with this specific job or agent. GitHub apple-opensource-mirror / OpenSSH Public master OpenSSH/ Go to file Cannot retrieve contributors at this time 23 lines (23 sloc) 541 Bytes Raw Blame Apple's launchd/launchctl documentation exists but is dense, descriptive (rather than narrative / educational / prescriptive or basically easy to learn and use). If you have GitHub Desktop installed, you can use it to clone repositories and not deal with SSH keys.

They give contextual help, graphical affordances and syntax checking. Adding your SSH key to the ssh-agent Before adding a new SSH key to the ssh-agent to manage your keys, you should have checked for existing SSH keys and generated a new SSH key. I seriously prefer to edit these preference files with a tool like LaunchControl or Lingon. In this case, it's the openssh prefernence that starts things: launchctl list -agent You may get lucky with grep: launchctl list | grep ssh-agent When you enable this feature, macOS automatically starts an OpenSSH sever that. The launch daemon ( launchd) is responsible for starting processes at boot, on demand, on schedule, in response to incoming network port connections and when a user is logged in. Remote Login is essentially a Remote SSH server which can reduce the.
