Hello, I got a trouble with ssh command line when investigating a connection issue to a (Stash/Git) server. When invoking "ssh -p 7999 -i /path/to/my/id_dsa git@stashserver" I just got the answer "Permission denied (publickey)." I had to enable traces: "ssh -t -p 7999 -i /path/to/my/id_dsa git@stashserver" to understand why: debug1: Server accepts key: pkalg ssh-dss blen 433 debug1: could not open key file '/path/to/my/id_dsa': Permission denied debug1: No more authentication methods to try. Permission denied (publickey). In my opinion, I would expect that ssh command outputs to stderr the "could not open key file '/path/to/my/id_dsa': Permission denied" message when a identity file is explicitly given in options. What do you think about that error handling proposal ? Thank you for your attention Best regards -- Yves Martin _______________________________________________ openssh-unix-dev mailing list openssh-unix-dev@xxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.mindrot.org/mailman/listinfo/openssh-unix-dev
