[opensuse] Ready for openssh 7.1p1-1? (ssh-dss) keys deprecated...
All, I know everyone always reads all release notes before upgrades, etc... But just be aware that when openssh 7.1p1-1, finds its way into your system(s), your ability to connect using ssh-dss (dsa) keys will be gone. This is a good thing due to vulnerabilities, but if you have disabled password connections at a remote site, you could be left staring at a 'login failed' prompt.... The simple solution is to generate ecdsa keys (or any other version 2.0 keytype that you like). (e.g. ssh-keygen -t ecdsa). Then just ship the new keys to your remote boxes and add them to the normal authorized_keys file and your done. (thankfully I hadn't disabled password logins :) -- David C.
