I'm trying to make my system a little more secure but still allow it to be
accessed remotely from the internet using ssh and I'm looking for some
guidance. The systems in question are a Fedora 9 and a Fedora Core 6 system.
The first thing I did was on my workstation (that I ssh from) is create a
public/private key pair and installed the public key in
~/.ssh/authorized_keys2, and disabled the password authentication in the
/etc/ssh/sshd_config and everything so far works great.
I believe the file with the keys is '~/.ssh/authorized_keys', without the '2'.
as specified in the sshd_config.
AuthorizedKeysFile .ssh/authorized_keys
I only use the ssh 2 protocol. As such, I have/use authorized_keys2.
The version without the "2" is for ssh 1 protocol, and its used should
be deprecated as its not as secure as ssh 2.
