Having trouble getting a key generated fo ssh2 on the commercial version
of secure shell to work on OpenSSH on a redhat 6.2 box.
The first thing I noticed is the commercial version has linefeeds in the
key. Reading the ssh-keygen man page leads me to believe there is a
difference between the ssh2 spec and the openssh implementation since
there is a method ofnconverting keys back and forth. From the man page:
<skip>
ssh-keygen -x [-f input_keyfile]
ssh-keygen -X [-f input_keyfile]
ssh-keygen -y [-f input_keyfile]
ssh-keygen -c [-P passphrase] [-C comment] [-f keyfile]
ssh-keygen -l [-f input_keyfile]
<skip>
-x This option will read a private OpenSSH DSA format file and
print
a SSH2-compatible public key to stdout.
-X This option will read a unencrypted SSH2-compatible private
(or
public) key file and print an OpenSSH compatible private
(or pub
lic) key to stdout.
-y This option will read a private OpenSSH DSA format file and
print
an OpenSSH DSA public key to stdout.
I have tried various combinations to generated the open version of the
key but here is what I get:
[bhughes@compaq3 bhughes]$ ssh-keygen -Xf garytest.pub >
garytestopenssh.pub
ignore: ---- BEGIN SSH2 PUBLIC KEY ---- Comment: "testing [1024-bit dsa,
gfanning@bhughes, Fri Feb 02 2001 00:\ 19:54]"

GrSK6V9u8D9T9PbXZQ== ---- END SSH2 PUBLIC KEY ----
the file garytestopenssh.pub remains empty :( Ideas anyone?
Question: Is the key generated by ssh an unencrytped key?
Question: Where do I look fo more answers. Like who is out of spec
here. I am always leaning toward screaming about those damn proprietary
vandors but I thought I would look before I leap for a change.
Any help or tips appreciated.
