Description Iain Morgan 2015-11-21 11:32:12 AEDT 
Created attachment 2755 [details]
Only load RSA1 host key if SSH1 support was enabled

When using hostbased authentication as root, and protocol v1 support has
not been enabled, ssh(1) gives the following complaint:

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

This only occurs for root, and only if an RSA1 host key is present. The
issue is that ssh(1) will attempt to load the RSA1 key even if SSH1
support was not enabled at build-time.
