Unable to use SSH Keys to log into servers

I have my ssh key distributed to all my kafka servers, but kafka-utils asks for a password regardless.

It's happened to me a couple of times, but then if I type in a random password it connects properly using the ssh key. Did you enable ssh agent forwarding? Or you are running this from where you have access to the private key?

I am trying to script around Kafka Utils so typing random stuff/echoing random stuff seems silly, but I am willing to do it if there is no other option.

Running from where I have access to the private key.

Ignore. It works when setting ssh-agent.

Thanks!
