Hi dropbear folks,
On the linux client for spaceflight we're running dropbear: v
2017.75.
On our Windows 11 server we're running: Open SSH Server v 9.5.0.0 on
the bench.
1. We've generated keys with `dropbearkey` on an ubuntu 16 VM and
moved them to both machines above.
2. We can't run dropbearconvert on the linux client so we ran it on
Ubunto to convert our private key. We moved the result back to Linux.
When we use this key we get the error back "String too long".
That error would most likely occur of the identityfile is the wrong
format
or is corrupt somehow (the first 4 bytes are the length). Is it using
the converted (OpenSSH format) private key (the output from
dropbearconvert)?
The output from dropbearkey should be usable as-is on dbclient, without
conversion.
If you don't have any success, generate a new test key and send it, I'll
have a look.
Cheers,
Matt
