In the past year I've been using dsa
keys to access several remote machines. On one of these machine, dsa keys have been deprecated so I simply switched to rsa
. In doing so it seems that my key is not stored anymore in the keychain
, so everytime I restart my computer I get asked for the passphrase.
To add the key I tried this:
ssh-add -k .ssh/id_rsa
But also this:
/usr/bin/ssh-add -k .ssh/id_rsa
It works until the next reboot.
If I open the keychain and look there for ssh I see the dsa key, the old one.
Which would be the correct way to add the new one?

Try adding a new item in the keychain app by pressing the small + Button at the bottom. It should look like this.
