Hello. First I am new to SSH so I apologize if I use any incorrect terms or terminology.<br />
&nbsp;<br />
I just had a new server brought up in another location. Because this is a new server it will have a new SSH Key. Everyone who is connecting to the system was able to use a windows client that prompted them to accept the new key and that was easy enough.<br />
&nbsp;<br />
However I have one automated service that I can't seem to get to work. It is running OpenSSH_3.5p1<br />
&nbsp;<br />
I ran the ssh -vvv user@IP<br />
&nbsp;<br />
and have the debug output. I don't know what to look for however I gather from the output that it did connect to the IP on port 22 the connection was established then it says <br />
&nbsp;<br />
Not an RSA1 key file /home/brs/.ssh/identity<br />
&nbsp;<br />
key_type_from_name: unknown key type '-----BEGIN'<br />
&nbsp;<br />
key_read: no key found<br />
&nbsp;<br />
&nbsp;<br />
I take it from the middle line that it does in fact see a key being sent. It reads the '-----BEGIN' but for some reason it can not understand the key? Is that right? I don't know if this server is sending an RSA or DSA key. I am assuming it matters.<br />
&nbsp;<br />
Is there a command that I can run on the remote server (by remote I mean the server trying to connect to my ssh server) that will force it to accept what ever key is being provided by my server?

How to accept a key on OpenSSH_3.5p1

Security is the protection of information systems from theft or damage to the hardware, the software, and the information on them, as well as from disruption or misdirection of the services they provide. The main goal of security is protecting assets, and an asset is anything of value and worthy of protection.  Information Security is a discipline of protecting information assets from threats through safeguards to achieve the objectives of confidentiality, integrity, and availability or CIA for short. On the other hand, disclosure, alteration, and disruption (DAD) compromise the security objectives.
