Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: openssh-client
After upgrading from 8.04 to 8.10, I could not log into any machines via
ssh where I had already configured public-key auth. This happens with
both rsa and dsa keys.
The error given was:
Received disconnect from 10.0.0.1: 2: Too many authentication failures for
USER
`ssh -vvv hostname` showed that ssh client was trying keys
randomly(?), even though ~/.ssh/config specified the key properly (and
has always worked in the past).
workaround 1: If I remove all the keys from ~/.ssh/ except for the host I was
trying, I could then log into that host successfully while in X11.
workaround 2: use ssh client directly from the console (with or without X11
running on anther vty)
