Apologies if I'm being obtuse; with newer version of openssh client the new
dropbear won't accept rsa keys:

ssh -v root@172.22.232.152 -p 2222
OpenSSH_7.4p1, OpenSSL 1.0.2k-fips  26 Jan 2017
[snip]
debug1: Next authentication method: publickey
debug1: Offering RSA public key: rsa-key-20180607
debug1: *Server accepts key: pkalg rsa-sha2-256 blen 277*
Authentication failed.

but with older versions it does:

ssh -v root@172.22.232.152 -p 2222
OpenSSH_5.8p2, OpenSSL 0.9.8o 01 Jun 2010
[snip]
debug1: Offering RSA public key: rsa-key-20180607
debug1: *Server accepts key: pkalg ssh-rsa blen 277*
debug1: Authentication succeeded (publickey).
Is there a config option I'm missing?

Thanks

Geoff
