Hey friends, I have configured FC3 .I want to do key based access to the Server What I have done is that ssh-keygen -t dsa. I imported the id_dsa.pub to the server .Then cat id_dsa.pub >> .ssh/authorized_keys. I have checked the permission for .ssh it is 700 and for authorized_keys it is 600. Under /etc/ssh/sshd_config it is can seen that the Authorizedfiles is authorized_keys. AuthorizedKeysFile .ssh/authorized_keys I checked the log /var/log/secure but it seems there is no error in logs. The logs are May 20 16:12:16 mail sshd[6967]: Accepted password for agrover from ::ffff:192.1 68.1.13 port 4801 ssh2 May 20 16:14:41 mail sshd[6998]: Accepted password for agrover from ::ffff:192.1 68.1.13 port 4804 ssh2 May 20 16:22:21 mail sshd[7037]: Accepted password for agrover from ::ffff:192.1 68.1.13 port 4845 ssh2 May 20 16:26:21 mail sshd[7071]: Accepted password for agrover from ::ffff:192.1 68.1.13 port 4861 ssh2 May 20 16:30:34 mail sshd[7084]: Accepted password for agrover from ::ffff:192.1 68.1.13 port 4935 ssh2 May 20 16:31:06 mail sshd[7113]: Accepted password for agrover from ::ffff:192.1 68.1.55 port 35647 ssh2 May 20 16:31:38 mail sshd[7147]: Accepted password for agrover from ::ffff:192.1 68.1.55 port 35648 ssh2 May 20 16:32:50 mail sshd[7179]: Accepted password for agrover from ::ffff:192.1 68.1.13 port 4994 ssh2 I have not changed anything in sshd_config under /etc/ssh.
