[cobalt-security] SSH RSA Authentication on Raq2

[Rod Todd <rodd_todd_1999@xxxxxxxxx>]

We have F-Secure SSH 1.1 build 24 client and can get
in the Raq2 server with Password Authentication; we
can not get in with RSA Authentication and get the
error: 

RSA Authentication Failed 

* We copied the RSA public key into the user
$home/.ssh directory 
* We set the private key settings in Properties and
clicked OK 
* The pub key only is one line saved as
"authorized_keys" 
* The instructions for setting up the 1.1.27(?) server
was at 
http://www.cobalt.com/support/kb/search.php3? 
ques=ssh&qid=534&language=1 
*  we issued the commands:
% ~/.ssh
% chmod 755 .
% chmod go-w *
* now the file permissions are: -rw-r--r-- instead of
-rw-rw-r--

We we type ssh -v & it worked with the following
output on the client: 

[x .ssh]$ ssh -v www 
SSH Version 1.2.27 [mips-unknown-linux], protocol
version 1.5. Standard version. Does not use RSAREF. 
www.xxx.com: Reading configuration data
/etc/ssh_config www.xxx.com: ssh_connect: getuid 116
geteuid 0 anon 0 www.xxx.com: Connecting to www
[xxx.xxx.x.xxx] port 22. www.xxx.com: Allocated local
port 1023. 
www.xxx.com: Connection established. 
www.xxx.com: Remote protocol version 1.5, remote
software version 1.2.27 
www.xxx.com: Waiting for server public key. 
www.xxx.com: Received server public key (1152 bits)
and host key (1024 bits). 
Host key not found from the list of known hosts. Are
you sure you want to continue connecting (yes/no)? 

{end of output} 

We answer no because we do not know what it will do if
we say yes. Has anyone implemented ssh on the Raq2 and
using RSA, your guidance is greatly appreciated.

Cheers,
Rodd
