I recommend you have another look at: http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/articles/openssh-key-management-p1.xml and from there Part 2 and Part 3 just in case you are missing something basic. The only difference being that the latest openssh version is now using ECDSA as the default. Therefore you should specify it as the prefered option in your server's and client's config files (which from the elog I am led to believe that it is the new default setting). Also, note the elog comment about users needing a valid shell in /etc/passwd. Does your user have /bin/bash (or other shell of choice) at the end of the line in /etc/passwd? PS. I am able to login into a gentoo box which is running 5.8_p1-r1 using my ssh_host_rsa_key from a client also running 5.8_p1-r1. So it seems that old keys should work fine - unless you have removed them from your server. -- Regards, Mick
