ssh braindamage (protocols, RSA auth)
I've been having a couple annoying problems with ssh, current version
in unstable. First off is, sshd absolutely refuses to use protocol v2,
either with the default 2,1 or explicitly setting 2,1 or using ssh -2
to connect. The only way I got it to use v2 was to disable completely
v1, which I really shouldn't have to do.
Second is something me and some friends of mine have been banging our
heads about for a while; that's that RSA Authentication also just
refuses to work. Make the keys with ssh-keygen, move the public key
to $HOME/.ssh/authorized_keys on one of the hosts, and from another
host use the private key. And nothing happens. Falls through to ask
for a password.
My config files are the stock ones from the package, now that I've
given up on messing with them. Anybody else having problems? Or an
idea? Or can confirm that it's just broke?
