** Description changed:
Binary package hint: nautilus
When connecting to a server using "Connect to Server..." in Nautilus,
you are first prompted for a password ("Enter password for SSH as
- <username> on <servername/IP>") with three options: :Forget password
+ <username> on <servername/IP>") with three options: Forget password
immediately/Remember password until you logout/Remember forever.
Having correctly entered the password, you are prompted again for the
password 3 times in a simpler prompt ("<username>@<server>'s
password:"). However, it doesn't matter what you type in here, it will
still enable you to login. Also, once logged in, every time you change
directories you are asked for the password 3 times but you can type
anything or simply press Esc 3 times and you get to change directories.
Not only is this annoying when navigating directories, it is a bit
disturbing that a password prompt appears that doesn't care what you
enter.
Note that the options for remembering the password in the first password
prompt does not have any bearing on the issue: it happens regardless of
which one you choose.
The issue also occurs when you connect through Alt-F2 and type in
sftp://<username>@<server> .
However, the issue does not occur when connecting through Dolphin or
Konqueror.
Confirmed when connecting to servers running openssh on Ubuntu Server
Editions 10.04 and 11.04.
I have enabled "LogLevel DEBUG" in /etc/ssh/sshd_config and attached the
output in /var/log/auth.log for connecting using Nautilus and also
through KDE's Dolphin. Based on this, at face it appears that when
connecting through Nautilus, sshd accepts the initial credentials, then
invokes the sftp subsystem. At this point, it seems Nautilus does not
supply credentials whereas Dolphin does. Although since a valid password
does not even need to be entered, it would seem that sshd's initial
acceptance of the credentials overrides what the sftp subsystem
requested.
Connecting client release: Ubuntu 11.04 (Desktop 32bit)
Issue relates to: /usr/bin/nautilus-connect-server
+ Nautilus version: 1:2.32.2.1-0ubuntu13
