I am trying to understand a change to ssh-keygen that is included with OS X
Mavericks, 6.2p2 that prevents the option, -m PKCS8, from working.
Previous to Mavericks I had 5.9p1 and didn't have this problem.
This used to work previously-
ssh-keygen -e -m PKCS8 -f $my_rsa_public_key
Now it outputs-
-----BEGIN PUBLIC KEY-----
-----END PUBLIC KEY-----
PEM_write_RSA_PUBKEY failed
I think this is the change, line 296 of ssh-keygen.c, that was added
in 6.1p1 that is the problem but I am not positive-
1.232 (djm 22-Apr-12): case KEY_RSA1:
If I am reading the commit correctly (possibly not), it seems to state the
opposite of what is intended-
revision 1.232
date: 2012/04/22 01:07:31; author: djm; state: Exp; lines: +7 -5;

[ssh-keygen.c]
allow conversion of RSA1 keys to public PEM and PKCS8; "nice" markus@
Is this a regression or am I not on the right path?
Thank you,
