Welcome to IWETHEY!

New Yes, all of those things are configured as described.
And I discovered that it works fine through non-root accounts. I can't forward through root on the remote machine.

Doesn't work:
anderson $ ssh -A root@remotehost
root[remotehost] $ ssh -T git@github.com


Does work:
anderson $ ssh -A nonroot@remotehost
root[remotehost] $ ssh -T git@github.com


So for some reason root is being blocked from forwarding, which makes no sense to me since forwarding only exposes the original client machine, not the remote.

So it's not OS X... it's Ubuntu. ;-)

Thanks anyways. Now I have to figure out how to convince Ansible to configure things via sudo instead (which it will do, but only for an entire playbook at a time, not just a single task).

Welcome to Rivendell, Mr. Anderson.
New Now... ahh ha.
More than likely they are being anal retentive about Root.

Root is a crappy thing to have to use to do automated things. It happens, but many won't/don't know how to make it available.

Probably comes down to a setup using some kind of PAM thing or perhaps "root" has a compiled in option for ssh/sshd to not allow things. There are weird options usable to restrict Root in custom compiled sources, all without config options evident.

You should see entries in the /var/log/auth.log for me...

Mar 1 00:32:57 omg sshd[30118]: Accepted publickey for root from XX.XX.XX.XX port 34837 ssh2
Mar 1 00:32:57 omg sshd[30118]: pam_unix(sshd:session): session opened for user root by (uid=0)


I'd be looking as the PAM session setup, I'm betting its there.
