Summary:                    Hostbased authentication  per ssh  from the host
doesn´t work after update  openssh to 5.8p2
Description: 
After upgrade openssh to Version 5.8.p2 Server config and Server Keys are
migrated  from /opt/csw/etc/ssh/ to /etc/opt/csw/ssh .


Hostbased Authentification from this host doesn´t work any more.

Error Output by ssh -vvv    no more client hostkeys for hostbased
authentication.



For hostbased Authentification the Server Keys from Client are needed. 

Problem 
Client Binary ssh searches the keys in /opt/csw/etc/ssh
(strings /opt/csw/bin/ssh | grep ssh_hosts
The couldn´t find it anymore in  /opt/csw/etc/ssh/

pls chang this to the new path to the server-keys


Workaround:

cp ssh_host*keys from /etc/opt/csw/ssh to /opt/csw/etc/ssh

Hi,

I don't reproduce your problem.

# strings -a /opt/csw/bin/ssh | grep ssh_host_
/etc/opt/csw/ssh/ssh_host_rsa_key
/etc/opt/csw/ssh/ssh_host_ecdsa_key
/etc/opt/csw/ssh/ssh_host_dsa_key
/etc/opt/csw/ssh/ssh_host_rsa_key
/etc/opt/csw/ssh/ssh_host_ecdsa_key
/etc/opt/csw/ssh/ssh_host_dsa_key
/etc/opt/csw/ssh/ssh_host_rsa_key
/etc/opt/csw/ssh/ssh_host_ecdsa_key
/etc/opt/csw/ssh/ssh_host_dsa_key
/etc/opt/csw/ssh/ssh_host_rsa_key
/etc/opt/csw/ssh/ssh_host_ecdsa_key
/etc/opt/csw/ssh/ssh_host_dsa_key
/etc/opt/csw/ssh/ssh_host_key

Can you upgrade to the last versions available in unstable (5.9p1) for
openssh and openssh_client and tell me if the problem is still present ?
