Public bug reported: ======================================================== Description: Ubuntu 9.10 Release: 9.10 openssh-server: Installed: 1:5.1p1-6ubuntu2 Candidate: 1:5.1p1-6ubuntu2 Version table: *** 1:5.1p1-6ubuntu2 0 500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com karmic/main Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status ========================================================
If you disable password authentication in sshd_config (PasswordAuthentication no) and attempt to log in with an incorrect key, a failed login attempt entry should appear in auth.log, as it does with username/password authentication. Nothing is logged though. If you change "LogLevel INFO" to "VERBOSE" in /etc/ssh/sshd_config you do get an entry as below but it isn't enough to indicate a potential issue : "Dec 31 18:17:33 localhost sshd[8011]: Connection from 82.23.xx.yy port 38583" ** Affects: openssh (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- OpenSSH does not log failed attempts when key authentication is used https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/501956 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
