Hi all,
I have a locked user account on the system. Anyone who wants to use this
account has to login as the root, then "su" to that account(it was marked as
"LK" in the /etc/shadow file). I am trying to use ssh from host a to host b
with the locked account, and I created the identity, identity.pub files on
host a under $HOME/.ssh directory and copied identity.pub to host b as
authoized_keys under $HOME/.ssh. The user was locked on both hosts. When I
issued the "ssh b" command, it prompt for the user's password which doesn't
exist becasue the user was locked. I user "ssh -v a", it tells me "Trying
RSA authentication with key user@hosta, server refused our key". If I
unlocked the user, it works. My question is: Can SSH be used in this case ?
Thanks. Philip
