[Capistrano] Re: Why does Capistrano require the public key?

[Jamis Buck]

It's a quirk of Net::SSH that has never been patched. If anyone wants to take a look and fix it, that'd be great. The problem might already be fixed in Net::SSH v2 (due to be released in the near future), but I haven't had a chance to verify.

Hi, there's something that's been confusing me for a long time. When
connecting using public/private key authentication the client
shouldn't need to have the public key available, but for some reason
Capistrano (Net:SSH?) seems to require it.

The openssh client can connect without having the public key file
available, e.g. "ssh -i privkeyfile hostname" (where  privkeyfile is a
private key). But Capistrano complains if there isn't also a file
named "privkeyfile.pub" (containing the public key) in the same
directory.

Am I doing something wrong? Is there a way to change this so that the
public key isn't required?

Thanks,
Paul
