This is strange, I don't reproduce your problem.

When I do the same as you I have the same output you habe with the old version:
[...]
debug3: authmethod_is_enabled publickey
debug1: Next authentication method: publickey
debug1: Trying private key: /home/yann/.ssh/id_rsa
debug3: no such identity: /home/yann/.ssh/id_rsa: No such file or directory
debug1: Trying private key: /home/yann/.ssh/id_dsa
debug3: no such identity: /home/yann/.ssh/id_dsa: No such file or directory
debug1: Trying private key: /home/yann/.ssh/id_ecdsa
debug3: no such identity: /home/yann/.ssh/id_ecdsa: No such file or directory
[...]


I am currently using OpenSSH_6.4p1 which the last available in the unstable repository.

I retrieved OpenSSH_6.2 and indeed I can observe the same behavior.

It has been introduced in OpenSSH 6.2 by this change:
   - dtucker@cvs.openbsd.org 2013/02/15 00:21:01
     [sshconnect2.c]
     Warn more loudly if an IdentityFile provided by the user cannot be read.
     bz #1981, ok djm@


and it has been fixed in OpenSSH 6.3 by this change:

   - dtucker@cvs.openbsd.org 2013/02/22 04:45:09
     [ssh.c readconf.c readconf.h]
     Don't complain if IdentityFiles specified in system-wide configs are
     missing. ok djm, deraadt.


So you need to upgrade to the last Openssh package to fix this issue.
Is there a reason why you were still using Openssh 6.2 ?

We are using the testing Opencsw Environment with Solaris10 (mirror.switch.ch)
openssh_client is there provided in Version 6.2.p1,REV=2013.05.02

Is Openssh Version 6.3 available in testing

mirror.opencsw.org/opencsw/testing also provide Openssh Version 6.2.p1

unstable provide Version 6.4

Hi,

It seems that testing is not really updated since some time due to lack of manpower.

I will close this bug as it it fixed in unstable and the testing unfreshness is another issue.
