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? -- 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
