            Bug ID: 2505
           Summary: key_load_private_type: unknown or unsupported key type
           Product: Portable OpenSSH
           Version: 7.1p1
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: minor
          Priority: P5
         Component: ssh
          Assignee: unassigned-bugs at mindrot.org

Only load RSA1 host key if SSH1 support was enabled

When using hostbased authentication as root, and protocol v1 support
has
not been enabled, ssh(1) gives the following complaint:

# ssh testacct at somehost pwd
key_load_private_type: unknown or unsupported key type
/u/testacct

This only occurs for root, and only if an RSA1 host key is present. The
issue is that ssh(1) will attempt to load the RSA1 key even if SSH1
support was not enabled at build-time.
