I have several Red Hat Linux machines here running ssh 1.2.27 that's been
compiled and installed from the source tarballs. In the interest of
easier administration, I thought I'd try out the SSH RPMs from replay.com.
After building and installing ssh-1.2.27-5us.src.rpm, when I try to
connect to a machine that's had ssh installed from RPM from a machine
that has ssh installed from source, I cannot connect. This message
appears in the system log of the machine with the RPM/SSH installation:
sshd[7154]: fatal: RSA key has too many bits for RSAREF to handle (max
1024).
Huh? All I did when installing ssh from source tarballs was a simple:
configure
make
make install
The question: What is different about the source installation that causes
this incompatibility with the RPM installation of SSH? Is there some
setting in the RPM spec file that limits the size of the RSAREF library
when building the SRPM? Anyone else seen this behavior?
Thanks!
