mismatch or unknown EVP_PKEY save_type 116

[Belinda Dermody]

Does anyone know what the following warning msg refers to. One of our remote clients receive this message everytime that he scp files to our site.

Transfer files to B. C. H. Publishing
PEM_read_PrivateKey: mismatch or unknown EVP_PKEY save_type 116

The file gets here, but they are concerned about the message.

I am running HP-UX 11.00 SSH 3.1 release

It sounds as though there is a configuration mismatch somewhere within SSH. These can be tricky to find sometimes, and it can be easier to re-install.

Having said that start by running scp and sshd with the "-v" option. This should give more clues.

The other places to check are the configuration files "sshd.conf" etc. Finally there maybe some corruption in your "~.ssh/authorized_key?" files.

I hope this helps
