I am testing sshd 1.2.0 against a bunch of devices that we are currently accessing just fine using version 0.8.0. Im running into problems during the authentication phase when logging into Cisco ASA devices. I am seeing logs like [1] which appear to indicate that the SSHD library is sending the SSH_MSG_USERAUTH_REQEUST packet under the ssh-connection service name which I would expect to see as ssh-userauth. Im no SSH expert so I may not understand this correctly, but the ASA devices simply dont respond to this packet/request and my session login eventually times-out.
When testing the same device with v0.8.0 I see that the login process seems to jump straight to 'ssh-userauth' after key exchange as indicated by the logs at [2]. This works fine with the devices and the session executes normally. Any ideas here? Is it OK for SSH_MSG_USERAUTH_REQUEST packets to be sent with service name 'ssh-connection'? If this is normal, is there a way to work with devices that don't seem to respond to these packets? Thanks in advance for any help you can give on this.
