Hi List; I have a machine I want to ssh to with no passwd. I've done this on my local fedora 7 box: $ ssh-keygen -t dsa -f .ssh/id_dsa $ cd .ssh $ scp id_dsa.pub user@remote:~/.ssh/id_dsa.pub Then I connected to the remote box and did this: $ ssh user@remote [remote-box] $ cd .ssh [remote-box] $ cat id_dsa.pub >> authorized_keys2 [remote-box] $ chmod 640 authorized_keys2 [remote-box] $ rm id_dsa.pub [remote-box] $ exit The scp took like 5min Then I try and connect like this (remote box is 172.16.128.128) : $ ssh -v 172.16.128.128 and I get this: OpenSSH_4.5p1, OpenSSL 0.9.8b 04 May 2006 debug1: Reading configuration data /home/kkempter/.ssh/config debug1: Reading configuration data /etc/ssh/ssh_config debug1: Applying options for * debug1: Connecting to 172.16.128.128 [172.16.128.128] port 22. debug1: Connection established. debug1: identity file /home/kkempter/.ssh/identity type -1 debug1: identity file /home/kkempter/.ssh/id_rsa type 1 debug1: identity file /home/kkempter/.ssh/id_dsa type 2 debug1: Remote protocol version 1.99, remote software version OpenSSH_4.6 debug1: match: OpenSSH_4.6 pat OpenSSH* debug1: Enabling compatibility mode for protocol 2.0 debug1: Local version string SSH-2.0-OpenSSH_4.5 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 '172.16.128.128' is known and matches the RSA host key. debug1: Found key in /home/kkempter/.ssh/known_hosts:13 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,password debug1: Next authentication method: publickey debug1: Trying private key: /home/kkempter/.ssh/identity debug1: Offering public key: /home/kkempter/.ssh/id_rsa At this point ssh hangs for like 4 or 5 minutes, then I get this: debug1: Server accepts key: pkalg ssh-dss blen 433 debug1: read PEM private key done: type DSA debug1: Authentication succeeded (publickey). debug1: channel 0: new [client-session] debug1: Entering interactive session. debug1: Sending environment. debug1: Sending env LANG = en_US.UTF-8 Last login: Tue Sep 4 16:26:13 2007 from 172.16.128.1 Then it hangs again for another 2 - 3 minutes and finally I get a prompt. the remote box is a windows XP box in vmware on my local fedora box running cygwin Any thoughts?
