SuSE comes with OpenSSH, and we use the version from SSH.org on everything else in the dept. We'd have to shift to publickey authentication for our automated connections (we have tons of rsync scripts that use ssh on lots of different systems and as lots of different users), which would be a significant effort. Getting the SSH.org version running properly is a much more desirable solution. ----- Julie

My shop uses SSH 3.2.9.1 from SSH.org as the dominant ssh client/server, and when I compile it on SuSE Pro 9.3 with gcc (v. 3.3.5 20050117, the default), there are no errors, but when I try to ssh to another host (running ssh 3.2.9.1 server), I get this when trying to use hostbased authentication:
warning: Received error 1, message: "Unable to load host keys.".
Using an ssh 3.1.2 client compiled on RedHat works without error, and I get the same results whether I use the old key (this was previously running RedHat) or a newly generated one. All permissions are ok -- all keys and directories have the same ownerships and permissions as all our other installations. And I get the error when logging into both Linux and Solaris boxes.
Any idea what could cause this error? And why would a compile with the exact same options I've used everywhere else give errors here and nowhere else?
Why are you not using the ssh packages that come with SuSE 9.3?

They do offer a pre-compiled version for SuSE. Seeing that the download version is for non-commercial evaluation only I would think you would go that way to avoid legal problems or put in the effort to use open-ssh. -- Ken Schneider UNIX since 1989, linux since 1994, SuSE since 1998 "The day Microsoft makes something that doesn't suck is probably the day they start making vacuum cleaners." -Ernst Jan Plugge
