Description Arkadiusz Miskiewicz 2003-06-19 07:15:52 AEST

I have setup with DSA key with no password. Now the problem is that key checking 
seems be case sensitive while it should be case insensitive. Example: 
 
[arekm@mobarm arekm]$ ssh misiek@misie.k.pl 
No mail. 
Last login: Wed Jun 18 21:13:46 2003 from 192.168.0.2 
 
[misiek@arm ~]$ exit 
Connection to misie.k.pl closed. 
[arekm@mobarm arekm]$ ssh misiek@Misie.k.pl 
misiek@misie.k.pl's password: 
<Ctrl+C> 
[arekm@mobarm arekm]$ grep -i misie.k.pl .ssh/known_hosts 
misie.k.pl,156.xx.xx.xx ssh-rsa ....  
[arekm@mobarm arekm]$

This is bad behaviour, but it may be too late to change.

hang on a sec, the use of pubkey auth isn't dependant on the hostname. Do you
have something in ~/.ssh/config controlling the use of pubkey auth?

BTW all ~/.ssh/known_hosts matches are done case-insensitively.
