Subject: ssh: pubkey auth fails between 3.8.1p1-3 and 3.4(woody)

Package: ssh
Version: 1:3.8.1p1-3
Severity: important

I cannot connect to an ssh daemon running woody's current version
(1:3.4p1-1.woody.3) from the sarge/sid current version. I have no
problems connecting to a client/server pair both running 3.8.1p1-3.
Default configuration files on all tests.

An example of where this hurts is when trying to get CVS repositories
from savannah.gnu.org. Since they do not accept password authentication
and require publickey authentication, I cannot get read/write access to
the repositories.
