Hi list, This question concerns: OpenSSH_3.9p1, OpenSSL 0.9.7a Feb 19 2003, and possibly other versions.
I've noticed the following error message appears frequently in syslogs for many systems I administer: ---snip--- Jun 28 09:02:31 hostname sshd[8062]: Postponed publickey for account from ip_address port 39397 ssh2 ---snip--- What does "postponed" mean in this context? When I test public key authentication, I can authenticate successfully. There doesn't appear to be any (noticeable) delay when authenticating. I've searched this list and googled around for this error message. Others have asked about it but I haven't found a reply that adequately explains what is really going on. Does this indicate a problem with a client/server configuration or is the message purely informational? Thanks, Paul
