Description Andreas Korthaus 2004-02-26 14:26:31 UTC

In this example of sshd_config only protocol-version 2 is used, but "RSAAuthentication" does apply to version 1 only.

Code Listing 11.3: /etc/ssh/sshd_config:

#Only enable version 2
Protocol 2

#Turn on RSA key authentication
RSAAuthentication yes



from `man sshd_config`:

     RSAAuthentication
             Specifies whether pure RSA authentication is allowed.  The
             default is ``yes''.  This option applies to protocol version 1
             only.


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.
2.
3.

I've updated the guide to reflect the usage of proto-2 only. RSA is removed; DSA is recommended.

Thanks for reporting!
