After updating to OpenSSH 6.8p1-1, I experienced an issue where, at every login, keychain (in my .bash_profile) wrote a warning:
My .bash_profile lines: # Start keychain, passing as args all private keys to be cached keychain ${HOME}/.ssh/id_dsa #, other_key1, other_key2, ... # That creates a file which must be sourced to set env vars source ${HOME}/.keychain/${HOSTNAME}-sh The warning: Can't determine fingerprint from the following line, falling back to filename A post ( http://newscentral.exsees.com/item/d00c4734c9eed7abe32de6a741f5a3fe-8dd4abc7f69143e4ea63672f83a77a14 ) to an Arch Linux forum expressed a similar report, along with a solution, adding a case for SHA256 or MD5: https://github.com/funtoo/keychain/blob/master/keychain.sh#L692 . For clarity, that's: *\ SHA256:[0-9a-zA-Z\+\/=]*|*\ MD5:[0-9a-zA-Z\+\/=]*) # The new OpenSSH 6.8+ format, # 1024 SHA256:mVPwvezndPv/ARoIadVY98vAC0g+P/5633yTC4d/wXE /home/barney/.ssh/id_dsa (DSA) echo "$ef_line" | cut -f2 -d' ' ;; I applied the changes to my /usr/bin/keychain, and the errors stopped. I think this change belongs in Cygwin, too, since OpenSSH 6.8p1-1 . -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
