Package: vinagre Version: 2.30.1-1 Severity: important [ important as I think ssh-tunneling of vnc is an important feature, feel free to degrade if you think different ]
Hi, after #579693 being solved, I wanted to try ssh-tunneling with vinagre to one of my vnc hosts. The first try hung for a while, before spitting out an authentication timeout. Retrying the connection, I noticed vinagre asks for a ssh password, but my host prefers pubkey authentication. After disabling the pubkey, the hang disappeared, but vinagre still failed to authenticate. Looking even stronger on the password window, I noticed that it does not accept the last char of my password (which is 9 chars long). So I changed the password to something shorter and voila, vinagre could authenticate and I saw my vnc screen. Thus we have two authentication bugs here: 1. vinagre fails to detect (and use) pubkey auth 2. vinagre only accepts passwords up to 8 chars Both make the ssh tunneling feature quite useless, at least for me, as I neither want to miss pubkeys (some of my hosts even do not allow anything else) nor change the passwords to weak/short ones.
