If you have CVS checkin privileges on sources.redhat.com you may notice
that ssh can't connect anymore. This is because I've upgraded the ssh
server on sources.redhat.com to OpenSSH, which understand v2 and v2 ssh
protocol.
So, if you have both keys and your default is to try v2 protocol first,
you won't be able to connect since the client defaults to v2 and there
is no mechanism for dropping back to v1 protocol if v2 fails.
The solution is to add this line to your ~/.ssh/config file:
Host sources.redhat.com
Protocol 1
Eventually, we'll have a way to upgrade your keys on sources.redhat.com
to ssh2 keys but, for now, the above information is the best way to deal
with this.
Please *don't* send requests to have your keys changed on
sources.redhat.com. I hope to have an automated way of doing that in a
week or so.
