Hello...
to openssh-unix-dev@mindrot.org
cc djm@ibs.com.au
devel platform: linux intel redhat 6.2beta
http://violet.ibs.com.au/openssh/files/openssh-1.2.2.tar.gz from rpm at
same.
I am NOT subscribed to the openssh-unix-dev list.
I ran into a problem using openssh-1.2.2 with openssl-0.9.5. With
openssl 0.9.5 you can now compile shared libraries without idea, rc5 and
rsa.
openssl compiled with:
./config no-rc5 no-idea -DRSA_NULL results in libraries without rc5 and
idea and (AFAIK) with the patented parts of rsa removed. compiled and
installed this way openssh compiles and installs fine. When run there
are errors though.
specifically:
rsa_public_encrypt() failed
on the client side
or
rsa_private_decrypt() failed
on the server side

version)

after looking at the openssh source code (I am not a programer though)
it seems that an the keyexchange point if rsa fails it should, IMHO,
fall through to dsa(?) or something else.
