search for: authorized_hosts

Attached is a patch which adds a log= directive to authorized_keys. The text in the log="text" directive is appended to the log line, so you can easily tell which key is matched. For instance the line: log="hello world!",no-agent-forwarding,command="/bin/true",no-pty, no-user-rc,no-X11-forwarding,permitopen="127.0.0.1:7" ssh-rsa AAAAB3Nza....xcgaK9xXoU=

Hi, I'm having a real difficulty here, and I'll keep this very short; ask for needed details. I've got two nearly identically configured RedHat 8 systems, call them A and B. I've generated keys with passphrases on both, added the public key for B to ~/.ssh/authorized_hosts on A and vice versa. On either machine, I can use ssh-agent with no problems. In particular, if I run 'rdist -P /usr/bin/ssh -c testdir myname at B' on A, no passphrase is requested. But the similar command issued on B to try to connect to rdistd on A always asks for a passphrase. This b...

This may be a dumb question, but is there any reason why scp a at b:c d: fails, where scp a at b:c . scp c d: succeeds? I get "Host key verification failed.". I'm using nothing more complex than RSA authorized_hosts based authentication. I'm seeing this on openssh-client 1:5.8p1-1ubuntu3 and OS-X 10.6 OpenSSH_5.2p1, OpenSSL 0.9.8r 8 Feb 2011. -- Alex Bligh
