I think that sshd needs:

chmod -R og-rxw ~/.ssh
chmod og-w ~

Hi,

I found it and it say:

debian: Trying RSA authentication with key '[EMAIL PROTECTED]'
debian: Remote: Bad file modes for /home/user1
debian: Server refused our key.

How do you fix "Bad file modes"?

ssh has a verbose switch. Use it and see why it rejects the RSA key.

Ciao,

Hi,

I tried this but it made no difference. Anything else I can try?

TIA

.ssh/authorized_keys is group writable, and that tends to freak out SSH.

`cd; chmod -R g-w .ssh/*' should help.

ssh with RSA-key login problem

[Fredrik Jonsson]

Hi,

I have setup sshd on my Debina system, genrated keys for root and user1
with ssh-keygen and put the public key in the file .ssh/authorized_keys.
I have moved the private keys to my Mac where I run a ssh client
(niftytelnet-1.1-ssh-r3).

root login works without a problem but when I try to login as user1 my
ssh client complains that "Server does not allow RSA authentication, or
the public key for user "user1" was not accepted. Reverting to password
authentication.

What is wrong?

Debian:/home/user1/.ssh# ls -la
total 6
drwxr-sr-x   2 user1 user1 1024 Aug  1 15:33 .
drwxrwsr-x  10 user1 user1 1024 Aug  1 15:31 ..
-rw-rw-r--   1 user1 user1  327 Aug  1 15:33 authorized_keys
-rw---   1 user1 user1  523 Aug  1 15:32 identity
-rw-rw-r--   1 user1 user1  327 Aug  1 15:32 identity.pub
-rw---   1 user1 user1  512 Aug  1 15:31 random_seed
