Hello, I am attempting to make public key authentication to work between OpenSSH 3.0.2 client on OpenBSD and SSH-1.99-OpenSSH_2.9 FreeBSD localisations 20011202. From reading sshd -ddd and ssh -v I can't figure out what goes wrong. Could somebody interpret the attached typescripts for me, please? Here's the relevant part from the server log and I don't understand it: debug2: input_userauth_request: try method publickey debug1: test whether pkalg/pkblob are acceptable debug1: temporarily_use_uid: 1005/1005 (e=0) debug1: restore_uid debug2: userauth_pubkey: authenticated 0 pkalg ssh-rsa Failed publickey for incomingmail from cl.ie.nt.ip port 29365 ssh2 Another thing that puzzles me is why does it start asking for s/key authentication? I don't even have opie setup on the server side. I am pretty sure it has something to do with FreeBSD "localisations".
