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.
