[gentoo-user] problem with ssh login

[gentoo-user] problem with ssh login

[Marco Calviani]

Hi lists,
   i'm trying to remotely login to a Gentoo box via ssh. However (and
the behaviour is the same from different machines) whenever i try to
login the procedure hangs before recognizing the remote protocol
version:

ssh -vvv pippo@pluto

OpenSSH_4.5p1, OpenSSL 0.9.8d 28 Sep 2006
debug1: Reading configuration data /etc/ssh/ssh_config
debug2: ssh_connect: needpriv 0
...
[snip]
...
ebug3: key_read: missing whitespace
debug3: key_read: missing whitespace
debug3: key_read: missing whitespace
debug3: key_read: missing whitespace
debug2: key_type_from_name: unknown key type '-----END'
debug3: key_read: missing keytype
debug1: identity file /home/pippo/.ssh/id_rsa type 1
debug1: identity file /home/pippo/.ssh/id_dsa type -1

[hangs here]

i can only do a Crtl+C and abort the ssh login session.

What can be the cause of this behaviour?

Thanks in advance,
Marco

Try renaming the .ssh directory on your HOME to some other name, and try 
again.

Hi Mateus,
   yes, i've tried different target machines, and tried from different
origin client to the  same target but the results are the same.

I assume that you are trying to login via public key authentication.  If this 
is correct then the key file has some formatting error in it.  How did you 
create it?

A second possibility (but less likely) is that the access rights of the pub 
key file on the server and, or of the private key on the client, are wrong.

HTH.

Sounds like your local key can't be read.
Check the permissions and regen the key if the file permissions are right.

Are you trying to authenticate via public keys or passwords?  This seems
like a problem with pub keys but I don't see a -i (identity file) for ssh.
Are you using an agent?
