Hi, I've found that I can no longer login using RSA challenge to an openssh server running on SuSE 7.1... Anyone else observed the same ? I've been checking and double-checking everything: filepermissions, server config, upgrading, running sshd in debug mode, but I can't find anything wrong. Of course my ssh-agent etc. is configured correctly. Needless to say, this is the only server I have problems with, out of a couple dozens, and coincidentally it is also the only machine running 7.1 Here are three sessions, the first is the wrong one, the second is for comparison only (and to reach machine #3). The third is from the other machine, back to the one that has the problem. The 'server' is running SuSE 7.1, both clients 7.0. Note that it doesn't matter which 7.0 machine I use to connect from; the sshd on the 7.1 machine invariably rejects it.
