Bug ID: 3147
Summary: Confusing error message when the public key is
missing.
Product: Portable OpenSSH
Version: -current
Hardware: All
OS: OpenBSD
Status: NEW
Severity: trivial
Priority: P5
Component: ssh
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
I just upgraded my machine to the latest -current as of today. When
trying to login to a remote machine using ssh(1), I got the following
error because my id_rsa.pub is missing:
> load pubkey "/home/jesper/.ssh/id_rsa": invalid format
The error is very confusing and as I see it, it seems like ssh(1) tries
to load my private key and use it as a public key? Or it tries to load
the public key *for* my id_rsa, and fails because it does not exist,
but then the error should tell me the key/file does not exist rather
than invalid format?
Adding the id_rsa.pub again will make the error go away though.
