I have private/public key authentication for connection to my server, after connecting to my server using my correct private key I can authenticate to my server using any private key file and it works
I use -i
option for specifying the private key: ssh -i /anything meliwex@server_ip
Even if the file doesn't exist I can still connect to my server
Is it possible that ssh caches the private key? If yes how can I remove that cache?
You could add -v
to see which keys are really used.
The -i
option isn't exclusive, ssh
is still able to use keys from a ssh-agent and also the default keys from .ssh/id_*
Probably your key in .ssh/id_rsa
isn't protected with a passphrase.
Therefore ssh will use it silently and you can login.
