openssh bugs - Mar 2004 - [Bug 818] ssh-keygen Bad passphrase error

http://bugzilla.mindrot.org/show_bug.cgi?id=818

           Summary: ssh-keygen Bad passphrase error
           Product: Portable OpenSSH
           Version: 3.8p1
          Platform: PPC
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: major
          Priority: P2
         Component: ssh-keygen
        AssignedTo: openssh-bugs at mindrot.org
        ReportedBy: sandino at sandino.net


When I try to change my key passphrase I get a Bad passphrase error.

If I generate a new key with empty passphrase I receive no error, but if I
generate a new key with a passphrase I get the Bad passphrase error.

[sandino at ingrata sandino] ssh-keygen -f .ssh/id_dsa.test -p
Key has comment '.ssh/id_dsa.test'
Enter new passphrase (empty for no passphrase): eaeaea
Enter same passphrase again: eaeaea
Your identification has been saved with the new passphrase.
[sandino at ingrata sandino] ssh-keygen -f .ssh/id_dsa.test -p
Enter old passphrase: eaeaea
Bad passphrase.

Can you read the key with openssl?  Try
$ openssl dsa -in .ssh/id_dsa.test -modulus -noout

OpenSSL fails to read the key


[sandino at ingrata sandino] openssl dsa -in .ssh/id_dsa.test -modulus -noout

Should I reinstall OpenSSL?

Yes, rebuild OpenSSL, and do "make tests" once it's built to make
sure it's
working properly.  If "make tests" passes, install it and rebuild
OpenSSH with it.
