debug1: Connection established.

debug1: identity file /home/service/.ssh/id_rsa-cert type -1
debug1: identity file /home/service/.ssh/id_dsa type -1
debug1: identity file /home/service/.ssh/id_dsa-cert type -1
debug1: identity file /home/service/.ssh/id_ecdsa type -1
debug1: identity file /home/service/.ssh/id_ecdsa-cert type -1
debug1: identity file /home/service/.ssh/id_ed25519 type -1
debug1: identity file /home/service/.ssh/id_ed25519-cert type -1
debug1: Enabling compatibility mode for protocol 2.0
debug1: Local version string SSH-2.0-OpenSSH_6.6.1
