Re: [PLUG] Problems with password-less SSH


On 7/21/2010 9:45 AM, Kyle R. Burton had this to say:
I did this by "ssh-keygen -t rsa". Then I copied the public file to
"FileCollector@192.168.1.30" with

ssh-copy-id -i id_rsa.pub FileCollector@192.168.1.30

One thing that often gets me is to ensure that FileCollector's .ssh
directory is 700, and that the files within it are 600.

They are.

But when I try and test it, I get prompted for a password:

vadmin@admnftp002:~/.ssh$ ssh FileCollector@192.168.1.30 uptime
FileCollector@192.168.1.30's password:


I've found that trying with verbosity turned up, 'ssh -v -v -v...',
and watching to see if it considers the ssh-key or not helpful.

If I understood it all, I'm sure it would be helpful. :-) I saw this (from a single -v):

debug1: Host '192.168.1.30' is known and matches the RSA host key.
debug1: Found key in /home/vadmin/.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_ACCEPT received
debug1: Authentications that can continue: publickey,gssapi-with-mic,password
debug1: Next authentication method: gssapi-with-mic

debug1: An invalid name was supplied

debug1: Next authentication method: publickey

debug1: Authentications that can continue: publickey,gssapi-with-mic,password
debug1: Trying private key: /home/vadmin/.ssh/id_dsa
debug1: Next authentication method: password


And then I am prompted for the password. Anybody see anything that tells them anything? :-)
