No idea what I'm doing wrong. Nothing in the logs on the server
indicate that anything is wrong on the remote side.
Peter,
This is because of a bug in the libvirt code:
if (!askKey.result ||
STRCASENEQ(askKey.result, "y")) {
virReportError(VIR_ERR_SSH,
_("SSH host key for '%s' (%s) was not accepted"),
sess->hostname, keyhash);
VIR_FREE(keyhash);
VIR_FREE(askKey.result);
return -1;
}
The problem with this code is that it ignores the resultlen field.
If the caller passes result[] = { 'y' } (no trailing \0), resultlen = 1,
(which IMHO is a correct use of the API as described by the
documentation), then STRCASENEQ above will not match the string.
You need to use something like:
askKey.resultlen >= 1 && askKey.result[0] == 'y'
or else some sort of memcmp function.
Rich.
Hm, that seems to be a fair point. I'll have a look and try to fix this
today.
Peter
