private key / username authentication issue
Posted: Thu Apr 20, 2006 11:08 am
Hi,
I've noticed that the private key and user login are not required to match to login to the server. Even though it is setup this way.
i.e. I have private_key1 associated to user1, private_key2 associated to user2. The server has both public_key1 and public_key2.
The server allows me to log in using user1, private_key2 - it authenticates using public_key2.
This case is not likely to happen in the real world but I am wonder if this is a bug.
