Hi all! Following situation:
as i generated my ssh-keys i noticed, that the encryption used to store the private key set to des3. So i saved the key using aes256, what succeeded without problems. --- > cd .ssh #Converted my dsa-key to plain > openssl -in id_dsa -out key.plain # encrypted the plain with aes256 > openssl enc -e -aes256 -in key.plain -out identity # copy id_dsa.pub to identity.pub cp id_dsa.pub identity.pub --- The problem encountered as i tried to connect to a remote server, where i placed my public key - the ssh seems to be unable to decrypt the key! This is the output i got: -------------- [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~# ssh [EMAIL PROTECTED] Enter passphrase for key '/root/.ssh/identity': Enter passphrase for key '/root/.ssh/identity': Enter passphrase for key '/root/.ssh/identity': [CTRL-C] [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~# ----------- The password i used for testing was simple, so i have not mistyped it, 100%-ly. Who have an idea? Thanks! Vladimirs. -- Heinlein Professional Linux Support GmbH http://www.heinlein-support.de Tel: +49 (30) 40 50 51 - 0 Fax: +49 (30) 40 50 51 - 19
