openssh bugs - Mar 2006 - [Bug 1175] ssh-keygen is generating 2048 bit keys by default

http://bugzilla.mindrot.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1175

           Summary: ssh-keygen is generating 2048 bit keys by default
           Product: Portable OpenSSH
           Version: 4.2p1
          Platform: Sparc
        OS/Version: Solaris
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: ssh-keygen
        AssignedTo: bitbucket at mindrot.org
        ReportedBy: rgconner at pacbell.net


ssh-keygen's appears to be generating 2048bit dsa keys, contrary to the
documentation which says dsa keys must be 1024. Can be overridden with -b 1024
to generate a valid key.

I think this is already fixed in 4.3, can you reproduce it with that version?

$ ssh -V
OpenSSH_4.3p2, OpenSSL 0.9.7f 22 Mar 2005
$ ssh-keygen -t dsa -f tmpkey -N ''
Generating public/private dsa key pair.
[...]
$ openssl dsa -in tmpkey -text -noout |head -2
read DSA key
Private-Key: (1024 bit)

I do not have that version installed, I will do so and test on a sandbox in the
morning.
