The relevant lines from ssh -v are debug1: Next authentication method: publickey debug1: Offering public key: /var/lib/amanda/.ssh/id_rsa debug1: Authentications that can continue: publickey,gssapi-keyex,gssapi-with-mic,password debug1: Trying private key: /var/lib/amanda/.ssh/id_dsa debug1: Next authentication method: password amandabackup@client's password: So the key is being offered, but there is no acknowledgment from the client and no indication of any problem in the client's /var/log/secure. Aha! In /var/log/messages, on the other hand, this happens: Jan 2 09:40:36 yankee setroubleshoot: SELinux is preventing /usr/sbin/sshd from search access on the directory /var/lib/amanda. For complete SELinux messages. run sealert -l d477003b-6568-4441-95d8-60bda5a6c0e5 Jan 2 09:40:36 yankee setroubleshoot: SELinux is preventing /usr/sbin/sshd from search access on the directory /var/lib/amanda. For complete SELinux messages. run sealert -l d477003b-6568-4441-95d8-60bda5a6c0e5 The full SELinux message is $ sudo sealert -l d477003b-6568-4441-95d8-60bda5a6c0e5 SELinux is preventing /usr/sbin/sshd from search access on the directory /var/lib/amanda. ***** Plugin catchall (100. confidence) suggests *************************** If you believe that sshd should be allowed search access on the amanda directory by default. Then you should report this as a bug. You can generate a local policy module to allow this access. Do allow this access for now by executing: # grep /usr/sbin/sshd /var/log/audit/audit.log | audit2allow -M mypol # semodule -i mypol.pp So I will file the bug. -- Matthew Saltzman Clemson University Math Sciences mjs AT clemson DOT edu http://www.math.clemson.edu/~mjs -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
