Bug 2504

Summary: key_load_private_type: unknown or unsupported key type
Product: Portable OpenSSH Reporter: Iain Morgan <imorgan>
Component: sshAssignee: Assigned to nobody <unassigned-bugs>
Status: CLOSED DUPLICATE    
Severity: minor CC: djm
Priority: P5    
Version: 7.1p1   
Hardware: All   
OS: All   

Description Iain Morgan 2015-11-21 11:03:06 AEDT 
When using hostbased authentication as root, and protocol v1 support has
not been compiled in, ssh(1) complains about an invalid key type:

# ssh testacct@somehost pwd
key_load_private_type: unknown or unsupported key type
/u/testacct

This is due to ssh(1) attempting to load the RSA1 key (assuming that one
exists) into sensitive_data.keys. This issue only occurs for root.
