Hi, I am trying to setup passwordless ssh connections so far i have 1) created rsa private/public keys 2) copied the public key (id_rsa.pub) to the machine i want to connect to and renamed it authorized_keys in the .ssh dir when i try to connect it still asks me for the password ssh -v tells me a few things - Next authentication method: publickey * that's good* debug1: Trying private key: /home/username/.ssh/identity debug1: read PEM private key done: type RSA *wonderfull! it is reading the client side private key* then......... debug1: Authentications that can continue: publickey,gssapi-with-mic,password debug1: Offering public key: /home/username/.ssh/id_rsa debug1: Authentications that can continue: publickey,gssapi-with-mic,password debug1: Offering public key: /home/username/.ssh/id_dsa then it goes to password :( it never looks for the authorized_key file. i have even place id_rsa in my .ssh dir on the server and even renamed id_rsa.pub to id_rsa on the server but nothing helps. so I looked at the server config and changed from the FC defaults to PubkeyAuthentication yes AuthorizedKeysFile .ssh/authorized_keys interesting enough when sshd was restarted from the init.d script it did not kick any existing users off the server. shouldn't it have broken the connection amybe a need to do a full stop and start for sshd_config to be re-loaded ? permissions are 0600 on authorized_keys what am i doing wrong ? btw what does the -1 mean in the debug message debug1: identity file /home/username/.ssh/identity type -1 debug1: identity file /home/username/.ssh/id_rsa type 1 debug1: identity file /home/username/.ssh/id_dsa type 2 thanx for your help. lazer ssh -v 10.10.10.10 OpenSSH_3.9p1, OpenSSL 0.9.7a Feb 19 2003 debug1: Reading configuration data /etc/ssh/ssh_config debug1: Applying options for * debug1: Connecting to 10.10.10.10 port 22. debug1: Connection established. debug1: identity file /home/username/.ssh/identity type -1 debug1: identity file /home/username/.ssh/id_rsa type 1 debug1: identity file /home/username/.ssh/id_dsa type 2 debug1: Remote protocol version 2.0, remote software version OpenSSH_4.0 debug1: match: OpenSSH_4.0 pat OpenSSH* debug1: Enabling compatibility mode for protocol 2.0 debug1: Local version string SSH-2.0-OpenSSH_3.9p1 debug1: SSH2_MSG_KEXINIT sent debug1: SSH2_MSG_KEXINIT received debug1: kex: server->client aes128-cbc hmac-md5 none debug1: kex: client->server aes128-cbc hmac-md5 none debug1: SSH2_MSG_KEX_DH_GEX_REQUEST(1024<1024<8192) sent debug1: expecting SSH2_MSG_KEX_DH_GEX_GROUP debug1: SSH2_MSG_KEX_DH_GEX_INIT sent debug1: expecting SSH2_MSG_KEX_DH_GEX_REPLY debug1: Host '212.25.92.186' is known and matches the RSA host key. debug1: Found key in /home/username/.ssh/known_hosts:1 debug1: ssh_rsa_verify: signature correct debug1: SSH2_MSG_NEWKEYS sent debug1: expecting SSH2_MSG_NEWKEYS debug1: SSH2_MSG_NEWKEYS received debug1: SSH2_MSG_SERVICE_REQUEST sent debug1: SSH2_MSG_SERVICE_ACCEPT received debug1: Authentications that can continue: publickey,gssapi-with-mic,password debug1: Next authentication method: gssapi-with-mic debug1: Authentications that can continue: publickey,gssapi-with-mic,password debug1: Authentications that can continue: publickey,gssapi-with-mic,password debug1: Next authentication method: publickey debug1: Offering public key: /home/username/.ssh/id_rsa debug1: Authentications that can continue: publickey,gssapi-with-mic,password debug1: Trying private key: /home/username/.ssh/identity debug1: read PEM private key done: type RSA debug1: Authentications that can continue: publickey,gssapi-with-mic,password debug1: Offering public key: /home/username/.ssh/id_rsa debug1: Authentications that can continue: publickey,gssapi-with-mic,password debug1: Offering public key: /home/username/.ssh/id_dsa debug1: Authentications that can continue: publickey,gssapi-with-mic,password debug1: Next authentication method: password __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
