#205: ssh changes behavior, requires passwords-------------------------+--------------------------------------------------
Reporter: jmorzins | Owner:
Type: defect | Status: new
Priority: major | Component: --
Keywords: ssh kerberos |
-------------------------+-------------------------------------------------- Hi,
When trying out a debathena machine today, I noticed that the
behavior of ssh has changed.
On an Athena 9 computer, if I "ssh" to another kerberized system,
ssh does not ask for my password. It uses my kerberos tickets,
and I connect.
On the machine I tried today, ssh seemed not to use my kerberos
tickets. I had to type a password in order to connect to the
remote host.
For ssh to require passwords is a fairly visible behavior change,
at least to the people who use ssh. If a lot of people use ssh,
I anticipate getting a lot of questions about the change.
(I commented about my observations on zephyr today, and was told
that this ssh change may have been a deliberate choice, but was
asked to file a ticket in trac.)
Regards,
-Jacob Morzinski
