Description Alexander Larsson 2002-08-09 15:24:03 UTC
The protocol 2 parts of the ssh manpage says:
 The server checks whether the matching public key is listed in
 $HOME/.ssh/authorized_keys and grants access if both the key is found and
 the signature is correct. 

This is not correct. It checks for authorized_keys2.

Comment 1 Barry K. Nathan 2002-08-16 08:18:33 UTC
I just checked the behavior of openssh*3.4p1-1 from Limbo2, and for protocol 2
(I didn't try protocol 1) it actually looks at both authorized_keys and
authorized_keys2.

Comment 2 Damien Miller 2003-04-04 09:57:45 UTC
NOTABUG - authorized_keys2 is deprecated and has not been mentioned since
v2.9.9p1. It is still checked for backwards compatibility

Comment 3 Barry K. Nathan 2004-07-14 12:47:21 UTC
Hmmm... this bug is still open, and in "NEW" limbo...
