openssh unix dev - Jan 2002 - [Bug 66] New: $HOME/authorized_keys not read by sshd

http://bugzilla.mindrot.org/show_bug.cgi?id=66

           Summary: $HOME/authorized_keys not read by sshd
           Product: Portable OpenSSH
           Version: -current
          Platform: ix86
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: RESOLVED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: sshd
        AssignedTo: openssh-unix-dev at mindrot.org
        ReportedBy: openssh_bugs at pongonova.net


sshd does not appear to read authorized_keys2 during connection attempt from ssh
client.  This was verified on both a Solaris system running
SSH-2.0-OpenSSH_2.9p2 and a Linux system running current version of sshd. 
Resolution of the problem was accomplished by creating a link from
authorized_keys2 to authorized_keys.  Current manpage does not mention
authorized_keys2, and the ChangeLog seems to indicate authorized_keys2 has been
deprecated, yet it appears to still be required for Protocol 2 connections.

authorized_keys2 is required if you are running an old sshd (<2.9.9 IIRC).
Newer
sshd's do not require authorized_keys2, but still check it for backwards
compatability - it is certainly not a requirement.
