Hello, We have a problem with OpenSSH and HP-UX 11i. With OpenSSH_3.6.1p1 we can use the publickeys (~/.ssh/id_rsa). With the same .ssh-dir and config-files in /etc/openssh OpenSSH_3.7.1p2 will not use the publickeys and prompt for password :-( We have try this with OpenSSL 0.9.7b and OpenSSL 0.9.7c ! Why OpenSSH_3.7.1p2 not use my publickey-files ???????? The OpenSSH_3.7.1p2-Server (sshd) has no problems with publickeys from other clients, but the OpenSSH_3.7.1p2-Clients (ssh,scp) will not use our publickeys :-( Here are debug output from OpenSSH_3.6.1p1 and OpenSSH_3.7.1p2: ------------------------------------------------------------------- OpenSSH_3.6.1p1, SSH protocols 1.5/2.0, OpenSSL 0x0090702f ... debug1: Host 'XXXX' is known and matches the RSA host key. debug1: Found key in /root/.ssh/known_hosts:13 debug2: bits set: 1609/3191 debug1: ssh_rsa_verify: signature correct debug2: kex_derive_keys debug2: set_newkeys: mode 1 debug1: SSH2_MSG_NEWKEYS sent debug1: expecting SSH2_MSG_NEWKEYS debug2: set_newkeys: mode 0 debug1: SSH2_MSG_NEWKEYS received debug1: SSH2_MSG_SERVICE_REQUEST sent debug2: service_accept: ssh-userauth debug1: SSH2_MSG_SERVICE_ACCEPT received debug1: Authentications that can continue: publickey,password debug3: start over, passed a different list publickey,password debug3: preferred publickey,password debug3: authmethod_lookup publickey debug3: remaining preferred: password debug3: authmethod_is_enabled publickey debug1: Next authentication method: publickey debug1: Offering public key: /root/.ssh/id_rsa debug3: send_pubkey_test debug2: we sent a publickey packet, wait for reply ... ------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------- OpenSSH_3.7.1p2, SSH protocols 1.5/2.0, OpenSSL 0.9.7b 10 Apr 2003 ... debug1: Host 'XXXX' is known and matches the RSA host key. debug1: Found key in /root/.ssh/known_hosts:13 debug2: bits set: 1568/3191 debug1: ssh_rsa_verify: signature correct debug2: kex_derive_keys debug2: set_newkeys: mode 1 debug1: SSH2_MSG_NEWKEYS sent debug1: expecting SSH2_MSG_NEWKEYS debug2: set_newkeys: mode 0 debug1: SSH2_MSG_NEWKEYS received debug1: SSH2_MSG_SERVICE_REQUEST sent debug2: service_accept: ssh-userauth debug1: SSH2_MSG_SERVICE_ACCEPT received debug1: Authentications that can continue: publickey,password debug3: start over, passed a different list publickey,password debug3: preferred publickey,password debug3: authmethod_lookup publickey debug3: remaining preferred: password debug3: authmethod_is_enabled publickey debug1: Next authentication method: publickey debug2: we did not send a packet, disable method debug3: authmethod_lookup password debug3: remaining preferred: debug3: authmethod_is_enabled password debug1: Next authentication method: password ... --------------------------------------------------------------------- Greetings Wolfram Greinert -- ########################################### # Wolfram Greinert # # URZ der Uni Leipzig, Abteilung Netze # # 04109 Leipzig, Augustusplatz 10/11 # # Tel.: +(0341) 97-33325 # # email: greinert at rz.uni-leipzig.de # ###########################################
