Package: ssh Version: 1:3.8p1-3 Severity: normal Since upgrading I get "Host key verification failed." for hosts which are not listed in ~/.ssh/known_hosts. In the past it would prompt me and add new hosts to this file but this doesn't seem to happen anymore.
The above is only for normal user accounts. Everything seems to work as it used to when using ssh as root. Here's the output of ssh -v -v -v for a failed session: OpenSSH_3.8p1 Debian 1:3.8p1-3, SSH protocols 1.5/2.0, OpenSSL 0.9.7d 17 Mar 2004 debug1: Reading configuration data /etc/ssh/ssh_config debug2: ssh_connect: needpriv 0 debug1: Connecting to kaukau [10.0.107.23] port 22. debug1: Connection established. debug1: identity file /home/jeffb/.ssh/identity type -1 debug1: identity file /home/jeffb/.ssh/id_rsa type -1 debug1: identity file /home/jeffb/.ssh/id_dsa type -1 debug1: Remote protocol version 1.99, remote software version OpenSSH_3.1p1 debug1: match: OpenSSH_3.1p1 pat OpenSSH_2.*,OpenSSH_3.0*,OpenSSH_3.1* debug1: Enabling compatibility mode for protocol 2.0 debug1: Local version string SSH-2.0-OpenSSH_3.8p1 Debian 1:3.8p1-3 debug1: SSH2_MSG_KEXINIT sent debug1: SSH2_MSG_KEXINIT received debug2: kex_parse_kexinit: diffie-hellman-group-exchange-sha1,diffie-hellman-group1-sha1 debug2: kex_parse_kexinit: ssh-rsa,ssh-dss debug2: kex_parse_kexinit: aes128-cbc,3des-cbc,blowfish-cbc,cast128-cbc,arcfour,aes192-cbc,aes256-cbc,[EMAIL PROTECTED],aes128-ctr,aes192-ctr,aes256-ctr debug2: kex_parse_kexinit: aes128-cbc,3des-cbc,blowfish-cbc,cast128-cbc,arcfour,aes192-cbc,aes256-cbc,[EMAIL PROTECTED],aes128-ctr,aes192-ctr,aes256-ctr debug2: kex_parse_kexinit: hmac-md5,hmac-sha1,hmac-ripemd160,[EMAIL PROTECTED],hmac-sha1-96,hmac-md5-96 debug2: kex_parse_kexinit: hmac-md5,hmac-sha1,hmac-ripemd160,[EMAIL PROTECTED],hmac-sha1-96,hmac-md5-96 debug2: kex_parse_kexinit: none,zlib debug2: kex_parse_kexinit: none,zlib debug2: kex_parse_kexinit: debug2: kex_parse_kexinit: debug2: kex_parse_kexinit: first_kex_follows 0 debug2: kex_parse_kexinit: reserved 0 debug2: kex_parse_kexinit: diffie-hellman-group-exchange-sha1,diffie-hellman-group1-sha1 debug2: kex_parse_kexinit: ssh-rsa,ssh-dss debug2: kex_parse_kexinit: aes128-cbc,3des-cbc,blowfish-cbc,cast128-cbc,arcfour,aes192-cbc,aes256-cbc debug2: kex_parse_kexinit: aes128-cbc,3des-cbc,blowfish-cbc,cast128-cbc,arcfour,aes192-cbc,aes256-cbc debug2: kex_parse_kexinit: hmac-md5,hmac-sha1,hmac-ripemd160,[EMAIL PROTECTED],hmac-sha1-96,hmac-md5-96 debug2: kex_parse_kexinit: hmac-md5,hmac-sha1,hmac-ripemd160,[EMAIL PROTECTED],hmac-sha1-96,hmac-md5-96 debug2: kex_parse_kexinit: none,zlib debug2: kex_parse_kexinit: none,zlib debug2: kex_parse_kexinit: debug2: kex_parse_kexinit: debug2: kex_parse_kexinit: first_kex_follows 0 debug2: kex_parse_kexinit: reserved 0 debug2: mac_init: found hmac-md5 debug1: kex: server->client aes128-cbc hmac-md5 none debug2: mac_init: found hmac-md5 debug1: kex: client->server aes128-cbc hmac-md5 none debug1: SSH2_MSG_KEX_DH_GEX_REQUEST(1024<1024<8192) sent debug1: expecting SSH2_MSG_KEX_DH_GEX_GROUP debug2: dh_gen_key: priv key bits set: 130/256 debug2: bits set: 534/1024 debug1: SSH2_MSG_KEX_DH_GEX_INIT sent debug1: expecting SSH2_MSG_KEX_DH_GEX_REPLY debug3: check_host_in_hostfile: filename /home/jeffb/.ssh/known_hosts debug3: check_host_in_hostfile: filename /etc/ssh/ssh_known_hosts debug3: check_host_in_hostfile: filename /home/jeffb/.ssh/known_hosts debug3: check_host_in_hostfile: filename /etc/ssh/ssh_known_hosts debug3: check_host_in_hostfile: filename /home/jeffb/.ssh/known_hosts debug3: check_host_in_hostfile: filename /etc/ssh/ssh_known_hosts debug2: no key of type 0 for host kaukau debug3: check_host_in_hostfile: filename /home/jeffb/.ssh/known_hosts2 debug3: check_host_in_hostfile: filename /etc/ssh/ssh_known_hosts2 debug3: check_host_in_hostfile: filename /home/jeffb/.ssh/known_hosts debug3: check_host_in_hostfile: filename /etc/ssh/ssh_known_hosts debug2: no key of type 2 for host kaukau Host key verification failed. -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.5-1-686 Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C Versions of packages ssh depends on: ii adduser 3.52 Add and remove users and groups ii debconf 1.4.24 Debian configuration management sy ii dpkg 1.10.21 Package maintenance system for Deb ii libc6 2.3.2.ds1-12 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii libpam-modules 0.76-19 Pluggable Authentication Modules f ii libpam-runtime 0.76-19 Runtime support for the PAM librar ii libpam0g 0.76-19 Pluggable Authentication Modules l ii libssl0.9.7 0.9.7d-1 SSL shared libraries ii libwrap0 7.6.dbs-2 Wietse Venema's TCP wrappers libra ii zlib1g 1:1.2.1-5 compression library - runtime -- debconf information: * ssh/privsep_tell: ssh/insecure_rshd: ssh/privsep_ask: true ssh/ssh2_keys_merged: ssh/user_environment_tell: * ssh/forward_warning: ssh/insecure_telnetd: ssh/new_config: true * ssh/use_old_init_script: true * ssh/protocol2_only: true ssh/encrypted_host_key_but_no_keygen: * ssh/run_sshd: true * ssh/SUID_client: true
