the given site lists 2 problems that I beleave are seperate bugs, one amd64 specific, so here is the cross platform one: ssh keys tested for a year or 2 now I have setup ssh key systems before ssh ekys work to connect to remote systems and from remote to other remote, but not when connected to eather of my new installs. specifics: from both new and old installs I can use keys to connect to old installs from eather new or old installs I cannot connect to new installs with keys problem is occuring on recently reformatted amd64 in 64 bit mode AND pentium4 (32-bit of course) key setup is checked many times over exact copies from systems that work config files have been edited, reset, reset then edited, and copied from known good configurations ssh and ssl versions match across both systems that work and ones that don't, not sure if made from same ebuild version however, afraid to try and update ssh on systems known to be working. I have reformatted the amd64 system twice the past week, both reformats used different make.conf but experianced same issue Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.install from clean slate on pentium4 or amd64 2.setup ssh keys on the 2 systems in a known good configuration 3.try to login to the recently setup system using the keys, it will still promp for password Actual Results: it prompted me for the password seeming to ignore keys completely Expected Results: should have connected using keys in the known good configuration (checked and rechecked) so that I would nto need to manually enter my password the AMD64 system: Portage 2.0.51-r15 (default-linux/amd64/2004.3, gcc-3.4.2, glibc-2.3.4.20041102-r0, 2.6.10-gentoo-r7-Exodist-Athlon64 x86_64) ================================================================= System uname: 2.6.10-gentoo-r7-Exodist-Athlon64 x86_64 AMD Athlon(tm) 64 Processor 3500+ Gentoo Base System version 1.4.16 Python: dev-lang/python-2.3.4-r1 [2.3.4 (#1, Feb 20 2005, 08:23:15)] dev-lang/python: 2.3.4-r1 sys-devel/autoconf: 2.59-r6, 2.13 sys-devel/automake: 1.7.9-r1, 1.8.5-r3, 1.5, 1.4_p6, 1.6.3, 1.9.4 sys-devel/binutils: 2.15.92.0.2-r1 sys-devel/libtool: 1.5.10-r4 virtual/os-headers: 2.6.8.1-r2 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="amd64" AUTOCLEAN="yes" CFLAGS="-O3 -march=athlon64 -fomit-frame-pointer -pipe" CHOST="x86_64-pc-linux-gnu" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/kde/2/share/config /usr/kde/3.3/env /usr/kde/3.3/share/config /usr/kde/3.3/shutdown /usr/kde/3/share/config /usr/lib/X11/xkb /usr/lib/mozilla/defaults/pref /usr/share/config /var/qmail/control" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/gconf /etc/terminfo /etc/env.d" CXXFLAGS="-O3 -march=athlon64 -fomit-frame-pointer -pipe" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="autoaddcvs autoconfig ccache distlocks sandbox" GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://distfiles.gentoo.org http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/distributions/gentoo" MAKEOPTS="-j2" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" SYNC="rsync://rsync.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="amd64 X aac aalib acpi aim alsa audiofile avi bash-completion berkdb bitmap-fonts bzlib cdr crypt cups curl divx4linux dvd dvdr encode esd f77 fam flac flash font-server fortran ftp gif gpm gtk gtk2 imagemagick imap imlib ipv6 java jp2 jpeg live lzw lzw-tiff matroska mozilla multilib ncurses nls nvidia oggvorbis openal opengl oscar oss pam pcre perl png python qt quicktime readline samba sdl ssl tcpd theora tiff truetype truetype-fonts type1-fonts usb userlocales v4l v4l2 xanim xinerama xml2 xmms xpm xrandr xv xvid xvmc zlib" Unset: ASFLAGS, CBUILD, CTARGET, LANG, LC_ALL, LDFLAGS, PORTDIR_OVERLAY pentium4 system: Portage 2.0.51-r15 (default-linux/x86/2004.3, gcc-3.3.5, glibc-2.3.4.20040808-r1, 2.6.10-gentoo-r6-Exodist-Pentium4 i686) ================================================================= System uname: 2.6.10-gentoo-r6-Exodist-Pentium4 i686 Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 2.20GHz Gentoo Base System version 1.4.16 Python: dev-lang/python-2.3.4-r1 [2.3.4 (#1, Feb 14 2005, 09:25:14)] dev-lang/python: 2.3.4-r1 sys-devel/autoconf: 2.59-r6, 2.13 sys-devel/automake: 1.7.9-r1, 1.8.5-r3, 1.5, 1.4_p6, 1.6.3, 1.9.4 sys-devel/binutils: 2.15.92.0.2-r1 sys-devel/libtool: 1.5.10-r4 virtual/os-headers: 2.4.21-r1 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86" AUTOCLEAN="yes" CFLAGS="-O3 -march=pentium4 -fomit-frame-pointer -pipe" CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/kde/2/share/config /usr/kde/3.3/env /usr/kde/3.3/share/config /usr/kde/3.3/shutdown /usr/kde/3/share/config /usr/lib/X11/xkb /usr/lib/mozilla/defaults/pref /usr/share/config /var/qmail/control" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/gconf /etc/terminfo /etc/env.d" CXXFLAGS="-O3 -march=pentium4 -fomit-frame-pointer -pipe" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="autoaddcvs autoconfig ccache distlocks sandbox sfperms" GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://distfiles.gentoo.org http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/distributions/gentoo" MAKEOPTS="-j2" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" SYNC="rsync://rsync.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="x86 X aac aalib acpi aim alsa apm arts audiofile avi bash-completion berkdb bitmap-fonts bzlib cdr crypt cups curl divx4linux dvd dvdr encode esd f77 fam flac flash font-server foomaticdb fortran ftp gdbm gif gnome gpm gtk gtk2 imagemagick imap imlib ipv6 java jpeg kde libg++ libwww live mad matroska mikmod motif mozilla mpeg ncurses nls nvidia oggvorbis openal opengl oscar oss pam pcre pdflib perl png python qt quicktime readline real samba sdl spell ssl svga tcpd theora tiff truetype truetype-fonts type1-fonts usb v4l v4l2 xanim xinerama xml2 xmms xv xvid xvmc zlib" Unset: ASFLAGS, CBUILD, CTARGET, LANG, LC_ALL, LDFLAGS, PORTDIR_OVERLAY
I abandoned my old keys, and decided to go with rsa only, I generated a new key and now the athlon64 system and my other systems I have propegated the key too all work fine, however my pentium4 system (still gentoo) now segfaults with the new key, though the athlon64 and pentium3 (both gentoo) use it fine, so does a remote bsd box I uploaded my public key to.
Re-assign.
what version of openssh ? does 4.2_p1
Created attachment 80604 [details] emerge info output I have exactly the same problem. When ssh'ing from local to remote machine I'm prompted for the ssh (dsa) key password, as expected. When ssh'ing from remote to local I merely get prompted for the user password, not as expected (even when I ssh to localhost I have the same problem). My ssh configuration (with the exception of the keys) is identical on both machines, (/etc/ssh/* & ~/.ssh/authorized_keys2). I can attach strace's or sshd & ssh in debug (-vvv) mode if these would be of any help. My system is fully upto date as of a couple of hours ago. I'm using the ~amd64 branch.
Dead bug and can't reproduce at all.
