Package: ssh
Version: 1:3.0.1p1-1.2
Severity: important


I often access one of my Linux boxes with putty (An OSS SSH-CLient
for Windows)

On a SuSE box and/or a previous Version of OpenSSH this worked fine
all the time using Protokoll Version 2 only.

Now with the new Debian testing Packages I always got a Message
"Server failed host key check". With the Linux client from another
machine this is not...

Now after playing around and resetting putty without success I 
started to compare
the SuSE and the Debian config files and found this:

When there is an "HostbasedAuthentication" entry in sshd_config
Access goes well with putty. It works when it is set to yes and it
works if it is set to no, too!

But when I put a "#" before the Option to diables it in the
configfile it does not work anymore. This is very strange and
reproducable. Seems that sshd does not set a default for that Option
like said in the manpage (no)

Let me know if you need further Information...

-Marc

Lets assume this problem is fixed in current versions then.

If not, please send a reproducer and reopen the bug.

Best,
