OpenSSH protocol 2 won't use identity file

Hi,

we are in the process of upgrading our solaris boxes from ssh 1.2.32 using SSH protocol 1 to OpenSSH 3.4p1 using both SSH protocol 1 and SSH protocol 2. However after the upgrade users using a protocol 2 client are no longer asked for the passphrase of their ~/.ssh/identity file, they are asked for their user password on the server. Is it not possible to use the old indentity file?

It seems that it isn't even looking for an identity file. Am I doing something wrong or is this normal?
