Hi,
The SSH key you are using looks to be in the wrong format. In your
debug output, there are a few lines:
debug3: Not a RSA1 key file /root/.ssh/id_rsa.
debug2: key_type_from_name: unknown key type '-----BEGIN'
debug3: key_read: missing keytype
debug3: key_read: missing whitespace
debug3: key_read: missing whitespace
debug3: key_read: missing whitespace
debug3: key_read: missing whitespace
debug3: key_read: missing whitespace

debug3: key_read: missing whitespace
debug3: key_read: missing whitespace
debug3: key_read: missing whitespace
debug3: key_read: missing whitespace
debug3: key_read: missing whitespace
debug2: key_type_from_name: unknown key type '-----END'
debug3: key_read: missing keytype
The key probably looks something like this:
---- BEGIN SSH2 PUBLIC KEY ----
Comment: "1024-bit RSA, converted from OpenSSH by root@testbox"
AAAAB3NzaC1yc2EAAAABIwAAAIEAtegffmpCN/68ePgVbfjtXXwSKKiNyIKH1TnwG1C75U
yIEVSmxJr5wDh4iRcasdff394ZnCds3sHFV6uVILH+8t8q7MzA92BPG+jUMtawAG/i8FoU+
iyNLB9mn1CORGYBJRrabyUW3JT5t5fefH55hUr+isMH7zr90cHq0hPa9CE=
---- END SSH2 PUBLIC KEY ----
The key is most likely in 'SECSH Public Key File Format' format. You
need to convert it to the OpenSSH key format, similar to below:
ssh-rsa
AAAAB3NzaC1yc2EAAAABIwAAAIEAtesutmpCN/68fPgVbfjtXXwSKKiNyIKH1TnwG1C75UyI
EVSmxJr5wDh4iRcdwpKE94ZnCds3sHFV6uVILH+8t8q7MzA92BPG+jUMtawAG/i8FoU+iyNL
ymlCORggBJRbarUW3JT5t5OW4+H55hUr+isMH7zr90cHq0hPa9CE= root@testbox
You can use the ssh-keygen program to convert from the above format to
the OpenSSH format.
ssh-keygen -f <path to ssh key> -i
You will need to do that for both the public and private keys.
Hope this helps,
Robert Moss.

Hi,
I'm using ssh client in a Slackware distribution Linux and trying to
connect to ssh server on mica.dcc.ufmg.br. But I can't connect to it and
can't connect to any other server.
root@status:/var/tmp# ssh -version
OpenSSH_3.9p1, OpenSSL 0.9.7d 17 Mar 2004
I need help. Thanks !
