    I am running openssh 3.7.1p2 on HPUX 10.20.
    Everything works fine except that my client simply ignores all
    authentication methods except interactive login.

    There seems to be a bug in 3.7.1p2 which prevents usage of public key
    authentication.
    My previous version of openssh 3.6.1p1 did not show the problem.
    In the debug output below it says ... type -1... when checking my rsa2
    key.

    Q1: Does anybody have a list of the type meanings?

    Later in the debug output when it comes to public key method the ssh
    client just drops the step.

    Q2: How can I get it to send a packet and not disable the method?

    My key pairs are OK and so are the access rights on my directory
    structure.
    I have done various tests with different key pairs and filenames
    (authorized_keys, authorized_keys2, id_rsa, id_dsa, identity,...)
    If I use an rsa1 key pair it works but rsa2 or dsa key pairs are simply
    ignored.
    I can access my HPUX sshd daemon from other platforms using private/public
    key authentication without problems, so the daemon side is OK.
    When I try to ssh or scp from HPUX I always have to type my password.

    DEBUG OUTPUT
    ==============================================
    debug1: identity file /home/peterk/.ssh/id_rsa type -1
      . . .
    debug1: Next authentication method: publickey
    debug2: we did not send a packet, disable method
      . . .
