Bug Description
[Impact]
libpam-sshauth v0.1-1 (shipped with precise) used to support publickey authentication with ssh-agent.
New version of this lib shipped with trusty and late has dropped this feature; which is related to upstream author (ltsp-upstream) switching to using libssh2 (was using libssh before).
[Test Case]
If users ssh to the server configured with libpam-sshauth using publickey authentication + ssh-agent, they're not granted access.
A patched has been approved/merge upstream:
https:/
[Regression Potential]
A testfix has been provided, and positive feedbacks from the community has been given by the community to confirm the new package work under Trusty as expected: https:/
[Original Description]
It as been brought to my attention that libpam-sshauth (version >=0.3-1) have dropped support for publickey authentication.
