Workaround in 0.6.0

[Jonathan Walker <jwalker@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello,

Wanted to point out the following to the LibSSH group.

My colleague and I were able to successfully build LibSSH 0.6.0 with a few adjustments to the build project.  However, when we attempted to utilize the library, we were receiving errors on attempts to authorize with a private key.  After much digging around and debugging, we were able to find out that the following conditionals were failing:

ssh_pki_import_privkey_file

    if (size != sb.st_size) {

ssh_pki_import_pubkey_file

    if (size != sb.st_size) {

We found that the difference was only one byte in length.  After some research, we realized that the newline in our private key file was being counted as 2 bytes (\r\n) in the following function:

    rc = stat(filename, &sb);

However, the following:

    size = fread(key_buf, 1, sb.st_size, file);

Was counting the newline as one byte.  In order to solve this issue, we simply opened the file with the "binary" option included:

    file = fopen(filename, "rb");

Which solved the issue.

Thanks,
Jonathan
