Public bug reported:
Spent all night to understand why public key ssh auth doesn't work. It
seems to me that issue only affects Jaunty. Please have a look at the
details below.
So, the configuration is:
1. Client
- lsb_release: Ubuntu 8.10 intrepid
- ssh-client: OpenSSH_5.1p1 Debian-3ubuntu1, OpenSSL 0.9.8g 19 Oct 2007
2. Server A
- lsb_release: Ubuntu 8.04.2 hardy
- sshd: OpenSSH_4.7p1 Debian-8ubuntu1.2, OpenSSL 0.9.8g 19 Oct 2007
3. Server B
- lsb_release: Ubuntu 9.04 jaunty
- sshd: OpenSSH_5.1p1 Debian-5ubuntu1, OpenSSL 0.9.8g 19 Oct 2007
Server A and Server B have the same /etc/ssh/sshd_config:
RSAAuthentication yes
PubkeyAuthentication yes
StrictModes no
I turned StrictModes to "no", but every server has the same permissions
on user's .ssh folder and .ssh/authorized_keys file. authorized_keys is
the same on Server A and Server B.
So, I am able to connect with public key from Client machine to Server
A, but I can't connect to Server B.
I run ssh client and sshd on Server B in debug mode, please find logs
attached.
Most important strings from auth.log:
