I’m migrating to a new laptop for work (Mac -> Mac, both on Sonoma). To migrate my ssh keys I made a tarball of my ~/.ssh
directory and copied it over to the new machine.
I went to ssh to one of my servers with my pubkey and ran into an error. It turns out that my ed25519 private key is now one byte (just an N
). This happened on both my new and my old machines.
It only affected my ed25519 private key. The old rsa key is fine. I have other keys for application IDs that weren’t affected, it’s just my personal key.
Could it be a keychain issue? Part of a security policy? I’m at a loss here. Any insight would be appreciated.
