I apologise for such a basic question, but I have looked in all
the FAQs, HOWTOs and misc. webpages I can find, and nothing will fix my
problem.
I cannot get PubkeyAuthentication to work between two Redhat
7.1 machines. The session goes as follows:
[wilma@horus ~]$ eval `ssh-agent`
Agent pid 20030
[wilma@horus ~]$ ssh-add
Need passphrase for /home/wilma/.ssh/id_dsa
Enter passphrase for /home/wilma/.ssh/id_dsa:
Identity added: /home/wilma/.ssh/id_dsa (/home/wilma/.ssh/id_dsa)
[wilma@horus ~]$ ssh charlotte
Permission denied (publickey,password).
I have copied /home/wilma/.ssh/id_dsa.pub on the client machine to
/home/wilma/.ssh/authorized_keys2 on the server.
On charlotte (the server machine), I set the loglevel in sshd_config to
VERBOSE, and the output to /var/log/secure is as follows (IPs
obscured):
sshd[1409]: Connection from <classc>.23 port 36307
sshd[1409]: Enabling compatibility mode for protocol 2.0
sshd[1409]: Failed none for wilma from <classc>.23 port 36307 ssh2
sshd[1409]: Failed publickey for wilma from <classc>.23 port 36307 ssh2
sshd[1409]: Failed publickey for wilma from <classc>.23 port 36307 ssh2
sshd[1409]: Connection closed by <classc>.23
/etc/ssh/ssh_config on the client machine is as follows:
Host *
ForwardX11 yes
Protocol 2
ForwardAgent yes
IdentityFile ~/.ssh/id_dsa
PubkeyAuthentication yes
PasswordAuthentication no
/etc/sshd/sshd_config on the server is as follows:
Protocol 2
HostKey /etc/ssh/ssh_host_key
HostKey /etc/ssh/ssh_host_rsa_key
HostKey /etc/ssh/ssh_host_dsa_key
ServerKeyBits 768
LoginGraceTime 600
KeyRegenerationInterval 3600
PermitRootLogin yes
IgnoreRhosts yes
StrictModes yes
X11Forwarding yes
X11DisplayOffset 10
PrintMotd yes
KeepAlive yes
SyslogFacility AUTHPRIV
LogLevel VERBOSE
RhostsAuthentication no
RhostsRSAAuthentication no
RSAAuthentication no
PasswordAuthentication no
PermitEmptyPasswords no
ChallengeResponseAuthentication no
PubkeyAuthentication yes
Subsystem sftp /usr/libexec/openssh/sftp-server
Thanks in advance for any advice anyone can give me. I need to
get PubkeyAuthentication working on these things.
Cheers
Will
