New Revision: 227757
URL: http://svn.freebsd.org/changeset/base/227757

Log:
  key_load_private() ignores the passphrase argument if the private key
  is unencrypted.  This defeats the nullok check, because it means a
  non-null passphrase will successfully unlock the key.
  
  To address this, try at first to load the key without a passphrase.
  If this succeeds and the user provided a non-empty passphrase *or*
  nullok is false, reject the key.
