Hello all,

I'm having a problem with ssh and public keys with Mandriva 10.1. Actually, when the user is 
"root" no problem at all, but when the user is "oscartst", it doesn't worked. 
We have had this problem here before, in other production machines, so it was not really 
surprisingly.
What "really" differentiates "root" from "oscartst" is that oscartst's /home is 
mounted by NFS. I don't know exactly why, the output of 'ssh -vvv' tells me that  the key is OK but it 
doesn't accept an authentification with publickey and passes to password authentification mode. The version 
of openssh of Mandriva 10.1 is 3.9p1-3mdk.

I decided to try install openssh from Mandriva 10.0 (which is 3.6.1p2-12mdk) 
and, with it, ssh from 'oscartst' worked fine. Then I let the 10.1's on the 
server and put 10.0's in the node, and I could log from the server to the node, 
but not the other way. I compared sshd_config files, they're the same. I did a 
little research in the Internet about this version of openssh and NFS but 
couldn't find anything.

Now the dilemma: what should I do? Clearly, using openssh from the sources of 
Mandriva 10.1 will not work for OSCAR. Then what? Should we provide this three 
packages (openssh, openssh-clients and openssh-server), should we instruct 
users to download the above mentioned version?

Besides that and a little problems regarding perl-TermReadKey that I'm working 
with Bernard (and a solution in on the way), installing oscar-trunk in Mandriva 
10.1 is fine...

Thanks,
