Problem in RSA Key authentication

Hello Damien,

I am using OpenSSH-5.0 on my ARM board.  I want to perform RSA
authentication, but server is not accepting the key generated by the
client. I have copied the authorized_keys in the "$HOME/.ssh/" folder
and provided permission (755) to that folder.  Please help me how to
solve this problem.

Following is the log from the client

Hello All,

I have built the OpenSSH provided with the "buildroot" package for ARM
board. OpenSSH version is openssh-4.7p1. 

After starting the SSHD, I am able to ssh to my ARM board, from my PC,
but SFTP fails.

Attached is the log I got from the daemon.  Any help is appreciated.

Thanks,
Kans.

For some reason your sftp-server is exiting immediately. Check that
/usr/sbin/sftp-server exists, is executable and doesn't crash
when executed.

For a better test of sftp-server, you can run it directly from
sftp: "sftp -P /usr/sbin/sftp-server blah"

Hi Damien,

It seems that sftp-server is working.

I have performed the following:

[root at 10 opt]# sftp -P /usr/sbin/sftp-server 10.20.0.183
Attaching to /usr/sbin/sftp-server...
sftp> ls

Please suggest me some other options.

Thanks,

Kans.

Can it be executed by whichever user you are logging in as?

Hi Damien,

Yeap. I am able to execute that command(sftp -P /usr/sbin/sftp-server
10.20.0.183) for any users.

Regards,
Kans.

Sorry, I don't have any idea what is going wrong. Some more things
for you to try:

1. Run sftp server directly from a ssh client, what happends?
   ssh yourhost /usr/sbin/sftp-server

2. Change the SubSystem declaration in the server to point to a 
   different program instead of /usr/sbin/sftp-server and repeat
   test #1 - does this work?

3. Rebuild OpenSSH from pristine sources (making sure you are using the
   latest version - 5.0). Does this help?

4. Rebuild sftp-server and insert a sleep() call at the start so you
   can attach a debugger to it. 

5. Try the new sshd_config "internal-sftp" subsystem (in openssh-5.0).

The log that is likely to have useful information is on the server.  Try 
  running sshd in debug mode (eg "/path/to/sshd -ddd -p 222" and point
your client at port 222).

The usual cause of pubkey not being accepted is the permissions of the 
.ssh/ directory (which you mention you have checked) and the permissions 
of the user's home directory (which you didn't mention).
