Hello,
I've been trying to get SSH to work on my linux virtual machine to
logon to a remote host. With the help of this list, I've now
got it working if I run from userid Root on my linux virtual machine.
I'm trying to get it to run now from a standard userid, operator.
I've added a user, operator, and ran the ssh-keygen command and
stored the identity and identity.pub files out in the
/home/operator/.ssh/ directory. I also copied the
known_hosts file from /root/.ssh to /home/operator/.ssh directory.
The way it's working when I run it under root, is I issue the SSH
command with the -l option to pass it a userid, and I get prompted
from the remote host for a password, which the remote system
adminstrator supplied for me. I get logged on and can run a
limited set of commands on the remote host.
When I try it from my operator userid, I receive the following:
[operator@linuxtst .ssh]$ ssh -l yyyyyyyy xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
Permission denied, please try again.
Permission denied, please try again.
Permission denied (publickey,password,keyboard-interactive).
[operator@linuxtst .ssh]$
I never get prompted for the password.
Here's the last part of my standard error output when I ran
the command from root with the -v option:
OpenSSH_3.1p1, SSH protocols 1.5/2.0, OpenSSL 0x0090603f

Is this enough information someone can tell me what I'm doing wrong?
It's like standard in is taking data from someplace other than the
keyboard.
Thanks for your help.
