I have installed openssh-2.1.1p1-1 RPMs on both of my test bed
computers. I would like to use RSA authorization rather than password
authorization.
In my /etc/ssh/sshd_config, I have:
RSAAuthentication yes
PasswordAuthentication no
If PasswordAuthentication is yes, I can log in with passwords, which is
fine. If I set it to no, which is what I want, and try to log in with
verbose on, I get this trace:
debug: send SSH2_MSG_SERVICE_REQUEST
debug: service_accept: ssh-userauth
debug: got SSH2_MSG_SERVICE_ACCEPT
debug: authentications that can continue: publickey,password
debug: key does not exist: /root/.ssh/id_dsa
root@server's password:
It then goes on to reject the password.
My question is this: what goes in id_dsa, and how do I get it there?
I tried copying the identity.pub of the machine loging in to the file on
server, and got the same message.
The section on how to do this in the FAQ does not address how to do this
with Open SSH. The file names and locations are all wrong. They appear to
be instructions for SSH Communications Security's SSH, not Open SSH.
Thank you.
