So, I have changed access permissions for these public keys, and host-based authentication works on both sides now. openssh package should be corrected in order to have openssh creating new public keys with 644 mode instead of 600. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
