Hi All,
I've attempted to google on this problem but I can't seem to find
anything that gives me a solution so I am asking here.
I updated a few of my servers recently with yum. After I did that,
my automated rsyncs to servers stopped working. The updated
servers are refusing the publickeys I've used for months and months.
In trying to debug this, I've run "ssh -vv" on the local system to get
debugging info and tailed the messages log file on the remote system.
I get the following message logged on the remote system:
Aug 18 08:35:14 mail sshd[25419]: Parsing authorization file /root/.ssh2/authorization resulted in
error (user root tried to authenticate)
It appears in the last update a /etc/ssh2 directory has been created as
well as one in the /root directory.
The version of ssh on the local server is "OpenSSH_4.2p1, OpenSSL 0.9.7f 22 Mar 2005".
The version of sshd on the remote server is
"SSH Secure Shell SSH-1.99-OpenSSH_3.8p1 Debian 1:3.8p1-3 (non-commercial version) on
i686-pc-linux-gnu".
What confuses me is why it says Debian. I use the out of the box yum configuration so everything
should be for a FC4 configuration.
If any one can give me some insight into what is going on here and how to fix it,
I would greatly appreciate it!
TIA,
Mike
