Package: openssh-server Version: 1:5.1p1-5 Severity: important Hello Maintainers,
my Workstation is running an up-to-date Lenny and last year I have
upgraded my intranet server from Etch to Lenny and now sshd stoped
working with pubkey authentication.
I had asked on mailinglists, and they told me to remove the passowrd,
but this can not be, because the exact same pubkey is on my VServers
arround the world and I can log into WITHOUT A PASSWORD.
Now I have made a test and it seems, the error is in sshd.
If the remote side has only the "authorized_keys" all is working fine,
but if the ~/.ssh/ has "authorized_keys" AND "id_dsa.pub" and the same
contents, pubkey autentication fails and I am forced to use a password.
I have instaledmy bubkey on another user in the intranet server and oh
wonder, I do not need a password.
So, it seems to me like an error.
Or is there a new option to activate the old behaviour?
Thanks, Greetings and nice Day/Evening
