Package: wireshark Version: 2.2.6+g32dac6a-2+deb9u3 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
Wireshark has several problems on capturing packets via SSH 1) Can't use SSH RSA key reproducible: always steps: Generate a SSH RSA key $ ssh-keygen -t rsa -C "youruser@yourmachine" Go on SSH remote capture: SSH Set all the options Set the generated RSA key from the dialog The key will not be accepted 2) SSH password not memorized nor password dialog on connecting reproducible: always steps: Go on SSH remote capture: SSH Set all the options, password included Connect Close wireshark Reopen it Try to reconnect See a message that welcomes you saying "Can't find a valid authentication" without even prompting a insert password dialog Also it would be nice that wireshark uses the settings in ~/.ssh/config -- System Information: Debian Release: 9.4 APT prefers stable-updates APT policy: (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 4.9.0-5-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=it_IT.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=it_IT.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE= (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: sysvinit (via /sbin/init) Versions of packages wireshark depends on: ii wireshark-qt 2.2.6+g32dac6a-2+deb9u3 wireshark recommends no packages. wireshark suggests no packages. -- no debconf information
