Hi, today I updated to OpenSSH 5.4 from 5.3 and I noticed on four different hosts that pubkey authentication was not working anymore after the update (while password authentication still works).
I started the server with "-ddd" and this is the (in my opinion) critical difference: # 5.3 (old SSH) temporarily_use_uid: 500/513 (e=1105/513) trying public key file /home/admin/.ssh/authorized_keys fd 4 clearing O_NONBLOCK matching key found: file /home/admin/.ssh/authorized_keys, line 1 Found matching DSA key: 1b:31:25:da:6f:89:17:e8:25:46:46:60:ed:6f:a2:6c # 5.4 (new SSH) temporarily_use_uid: 500/513 (e=1105/513) trying public key file //.ssh/authorized_keys restore_uid: 1105/513 temporarily_use_uid: 500/513 (e=1105/513) trying public key file //.ssh/authorized_keys restore_uid: 1105/513 Failed publickey for admin from 149.44.136.129 port 2864 ssh2 What else can I provide to help troubleshooting this issue?!
