If you are trying to connect using public key authentication, the keys
need to be converted:
OpenSSH -> SSH2
From OpenSSH, to SSH2
Note that following the public key from OSSH will be on CSSH. Since,
however, SSH2 cannot read an OpenSSH key we have to do a few
modifications to the file.
What we're doing How Where
1. Convert SSH Public Key ssh-keygen -e -f <path to public key>
OSSH
2. Create the public key file on the SSH2 machine vi
.ssh2/id_dsa.lnxcde01, then paste it in. CSSH
3. Add Public Key to the list of keys echo "key id_dsa.OSSH" >>
.ssh2/authorization CSSH
NOTE: The default name of the private key on OSSH is id_dsa but the
file name can be defined using the "identification" file.
You can now ssh from OSSH to CSSH without a password. Ensure that no
other user has access to your private key file (keep permissions at
600). Public keys can (and should) be publicly available.

Hope this helps.

This is a list for bugs in the OpenBSD version of OpenSSH, not for
general support queries. Please use the secureshell@securityfocus.com
