Description Brian Pilati 2001-05-22 15:21:07 UTC

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.5; Windows 98)

Description of problem:
When I installed the new openssh rpm I could not connect to a remote 
machine running 2.1 but openssh 2.1 will connect to a machine running 2.5.2

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Install rpm
2.add identity.pub localhost to remote host
3.rsync to the remote machine and it requires a password
	

Actual Results:  Asks for my password. How can you do a back up at night 
if you need to add a password

Expected Results:  To connect to the server without sending a password

Additional info:

This seems to be the problem on the openssh that shipped with Redhat 7.0. 
The update to openssh.2.1 fixed this problem but the newest openssh.2.5 
has the same problem

Comment 1 Pekka Savola 2001-06-20 07:20:33 UTC

Identity.pub is only used for SSH1.  It's not the default anymore.  You could
try forcing it with
ssh -o Protocol=1, and see what happens.  Else you could try creating SSH2 keys.

In any case, if this does not solve the problem, ssh -v -v -v and sshd -d -d -d
output is needed.

Comment 2 Tomas Mraz 2005-02-03 09:32:09 UTC

Neither openssh2.5 nor 2.1 is supported anymore. And you shouldn't use
protocol 1 anyway as it's vulnerable to the man in the middle attack.
