I'm trying to run sshd (OpenSSH_3.1p1) on Red Hat 7.2 as an unpriveleged
user, but am running to problems. I am running the following command:

    /usr/sbin/sshd -Ddqp 8080 -h $HOME/.ssh/dsa_host_key \
    -f $HOME/.ssh/sshd_config

And can connect to the server, but all authentication fails. Password 
authentication fails because of a known bug (feature?) with shadow 
password systems, but both DSA and RSA keys fail as well, with the 
following error:

    debug1: authentications that can continue: publickey,keyboard-interactive
    debug1: try pubkey: /home/gomer/.ssh/id_dsa
    debug1: input_userauth_pk_ok: pkalg ssh-dss blen 433 lastkey
    0x808ff40 hint 2
    debug1: PEM_read_PrivateKey failed
    debug1: read PEM private key done: type <unknown>
    Enter passphrase for key '/home/gomer/.ssh/id_dsa': 
    debug1: PEM_read_PrivateKey failed
    debug1: read PEM private key done: type <unknown>
    Enter passphrase for key '/home/gomer/.ssh/id_dsa': 
    debug1: read PEM private key done: type DSA
    debug1: authentications that can continue: publickey,keyboard-interactive

This makes no sense to me, as the password is correct (otherwise ssh-agent 
wouldn't load the key), and the public key is in authorized_keys on the 
server side. Has anyone else dealt successfully with a similar problem?
