Hello Savannah Hackers,

Someone said they were having trouble ssh'ing to Savannah, and course they're an Arch user, so likely using SSH 8.8. ; ) They did apply the +ssh-rsa trick, but for some reason Savannah wasn't accepting their key that had been working for a while already.

The keys that failed were:

debug1: Trying private key: /home/user/.ssh/id_dsa
debug1: Trying private key: /home/user/.ssh/id_ecdsa
debug1: Trying private key: /home/user/.ssh/id_ecdsa_sk
debug1: Trying private key: /home/user/.ssh/id_ed25519
debug1: Trying private key: /home/user/.ssh/id_ed25519_sk
debug1: Trying private key: /home/user/.ssh/id_xmss

Of course some of those might be keys that they haven't registered with Savannah. They said that once they created an ED25519 key, the could log in. It's possible that their SSH authorized keys list on Savannah was changed at some point, and they forgot?

In any case, they requested that we update the following page with info about acceptable ciphers:

https://savannah.gnu.org/maintenance/SshAccess/

I don't think it's super urgent, but it might be nice to add a list to that page. I hope that I sent this to the right list. I'm likely not subscribed, so please CC me on any replies.

Thanks,
Andrew
