I'm trying to setup my pubkey, and it works fine, except the first connection of the day, that keeps on asking for the password explicitly.
It's not a major problem for me, however I would love to create some services that would connect to that server, and that password request I'm afraid would break everything.
If i run ssh -vv ... during the connection when it asks for the password, I get:

username@host.it's password:
The SSH config is the following (I'm running other_host but it's the ProxyCommand that is asking for the password, the connection from host to other_host works fine all the times):
Host host
HostName host.it
Port 22
User user
IdentityFile ~/.ssh/id_ed25519
ServerAliveInterval 60
ServerAliveCountMax 3
TCPKeepAlive yes
Host other_host
HostName other_host
Port 22
User user
ProxyCommand ssh -W %h:%p host
ServerAliveInterval 60
ServerAliveCountMax 3
TCPKeepAlive yes
Update:
seems like the server i usin kerberos with session tickets, so probably the home folder is no accessible when logging in. So I though to add a krenew -b -K 604800 in .bashrc, however I get:
$ krenew -b -K 604800
krenew: error reading ticket cache: No credentials cache found (filename: /tmp/krb5cc_15521)
