Issue.. Plox? Halp! -- Passwordless SSH.

Herro guys... got a stitch, I used ssh-keygen -t rsa to help me get password-less logins between server A and server B.

So.. I did that command on server B(prometeus); and moved the rsa.pub key over to server A(IPXCORE). I added the contents to authorized_keys and assumed that was all it needed....
Anyhow, it still prompts me for a password everytime... (There was no passphrase added).

that's my -v output anyhow; I tried changing the hostname of the B server from my128pro to my128pro.chriseaston.info and added the redirect from my namecheap domain.

I havent fucked with this anymore, I tried KeyChain, but that also flopped. Anything i've missed?

Comments

  • Did you enable public key auth on the server and restart SSH afterwards?

  • On which server, and what's the correct usage, I used minstall's "optimal ssh" setup...

  • I added PubkeyAuthentication yes to both A and B, and service ssh restart both.

    Now I get;

    You need to have this in your sshd_config (on the server):

    RSAAuthentication yes
    PubkeyAuthentication yes
    AuthorizedKeysFile      %h/.ssh/authorized_keys

    They will already be there but maybe commented out

    Nope, added it to both...

    
    HostKey /etc/ssh/ssh_host_rsa_key
    HostKey /etc/ssh/ssh_host_dsa_key
    Protocol 2
    Subsystem sftp /usr/lib/openssh/sftp-server -u 0007
    
    ChallengeResponseAuthentication no
    PermitRootLogin yes
    UsePAM yes
    UsePrivilegeSeparation yes
    PubkeyAuthentication yes
    RSAAuthentication yes
    AuthorizedKeysFile ~/.ssh/authorized_keys
    

    Is the same for both servers; except the other has Port xxx ...

    I also tried removing each other from "known hosts"; Still failed.

    have you done an ssh-add /path/to/privkey on the machine you connect from?
    ssh-add -l gives you the keys ssh-agent knows about

  • lawllawl Member

    if you try to login as root you might need to set
    PermitRootLogin without-password
    (assuming openssh)

  • NickMNickM Member

    How about the output from ssh -vv ?

  • joepie91joepie91 Member, Patron Provider

    Stupid question maybe, but are you trying to SSH from server A to server B or the other way around?
