2661 | ssh-client | Request for a informational output to user instead of just password prompt
Good day! Request: More informational error/warning/info text displayed to user instead of being dropped at the password prompt. Notes from testing: Affected openssh version - All tested (ex. 7.2p2, OpenSSH_5.3p1) Affected OS - All tested (OpenSUSE Leap 42.2, Arch Linux, SLES 11 SP4, HP/UX) Hence, submitting this upstream. Concern: When a private key (ex. key1) is used and there's a public key with the same file name+pub extension (ex. key1.pub) in the same directory, the automatic login will fail and will drop the user to the password prompt. Sample openssh version: santi at osuse:~> rpm -qi openssh Name : openssh Version : 7.2p2 Release : 6.1 Architecture: x86_64 Install Date: Wed 04 Jan 2017 10:01:31 AM PHT Group : Productivity/Networking/SSH Size : 5576705 License : BSD-2-Clause and MIT Signature : RSA/SHA256, Tue 18 Oct 2016 09:01:48 PM PHT, Key ID b88b2fd43dbdc284 Source RPM : openssh-7.2p2-6.1.src.rpm Build Date : Tue 18 Oct 2016 09:01:15 PM PHT Build Host : cloud103 Relocations : (not relocatable) Packager : http://bugs.opensuse.org Vendor : openSUSE URL : http://www.openssh.com/ Summary : Secure Shell Client and Server (Remote Login Program) Description : SSH (Secure Shell) is a program for logging into and executing commands on a remote machine. It is intended to replace rsh (rlogin and rsh) and provides openssl (secure encrypted communication) between two untrusted hosts over an insecure network. xorg-x11 (X Window System) connections and arbitrary TCP/IP ports can also be forwarded over the secure channel. Distribution: openSUSE Leap 42.2 santi at osuse:~> Observation: Output will display the key as type 1 (debug1) and an address in debug2. debug1: identity file key1 type 1 .. debug2: key: key1 (0x55c14718c180), explicit -- Regards, Lester.
