Description K. Maupin 2002-01-18 05:32:59 AEDT 
This bug report is similar to bug id 66.

sshd 3.0.2p1 defaults to ~/.ssh/authorized_keys2 unless
"AuthorizedKeysFile %h/.ssh/authorized_keys" is set in sshd_config.
AuthorizedKeysFile is unset in the default sshd_config installed with
OpenSSH.  This behavior directly conflicts with statements in the
change log that authorized_keys2 has been deprecated.

I've observed this behavior under x86 Linux 6.2 and 7.1 and SPARC
Solaris 7.  OpenSSH was compiled from source in all cases.

OpenSSH is a terrific product, keep up the great work!

can you prove this with a sshd output? e.g. from sshd -ddd ?

I can attest that 3.0.2p2 does check authorized_keys first. In the absence of
any further information, I am closing.

Reporter contacted me by email - the issue was a permissions problem on the
authorized_key files
