Bug Description
Ubuntu 7.04
OpenSSH_4.3p2 Debian-8ubuntu1.4, OpenSSL 0.9.8c 05 Sep 2006
If a regular user tries to open a new ssh connection and ~/.ssh/id_rsa has permissions set that do not allow the user in question to read the file, openssh behaves the same as if the key was readable but contained an encrypted key and prompts the user for the password for the key.
