openssh-2.5.1p1-9
openssl-0.9.6-32
On Linux-SuSE-7.1, both locally and remotely.
I had "Protocol 1,2" in ~/.ssh/config, both a ~/.ssh/identity and a
~/.ssh/id_dsa private keys, and I had uploaded only the
~/.ssh/id_dsa.pub into authorized_keys2.
The it asked for the password instead of skipping to protocole 2,
which was what I expected, until I set "Protocol 2,1".
