This is in regards to openssh ver. OpenSSH_2.1.1. Please excuse the post if it has been fixed in CVS. This is more of a bug report than a request for help, but I thought that I would send it to this list and let a developer forward it to the devel list if appropriate. The ssh manpage lists the format of the authorized_keys(RSA) file as something like: <options> <bits> <exponents> <modulus> <comments> The man page is ambiguous in regards to the format of the authorized_keys2 file format. At first reading, one would think that the two file formats are the same. In looking at generated DSA keys, I think the format is more like this: <options> <cert. type> <DSA bytes> <comments> I am not a crypto-anlayst so perhaps the field labels of <cert. type> and <DSA bytes> are not quite correct. The point is that the man page does not clearly state that the format of authorized_keys and authorized_keys2 are different and does not correctly specify the format of authorized_keys2. -- --- Nathan Valentine - [EMAIL PROTECTED] AIM: NRVesKY ICQ: 39023424
