similar to: Unable to use SSH password-less logins

I'd like to propose a couple of tweaks to ssh-copy-id: o Change the default ID_FILE from identity.pub to id_dsa.pub or perhaps {id_dsa,id_rsa,identity}.pub to cover all the bases, although the patch below deals only with id_dsa.pub - it would need some more tweaking to deal with more than one (possibly non-existent) file. o If the destination authorized_keys file already contains the

I have a problem in ssh login without password Systems: vmware-centos 5.2: 192.168.0.4 vista copssh: 192.168.0.2 [192.168.0.4 $] ssh-keygen -t dsa [192.168.0.4 $] scp -p id_dsa.pub tester at 192.168.0.2:.ssh [192.168.0.2 $] cat .ssh/id_dsa.pub >> .ssh/authorized_keys [192.168.0.2 $] chmod 700 .ssh [192.168.0.2 $] chmod 600 .ssh/authorized_keys [192.168.0.4 $] ssh id at 192.168.0.2

On Mac OS, in order to allow ssh using dsa keys, I would copy ~/.ssh/id_dsa.pub from my machine into ~/.ssh/authorized_keys of the target machine. I've created .ssh directories in my account home as well as in /root and copied the respective keys to authorized_keys files in each. Strangely, I can now ssh as root with no password but my own user account still prompts for a password. What

Hello I think I've found a bug but since no one replied to me on comp.security.ssh, I'll try my luck here. On my client, PreferredAuthentications is set to publickey,password. When using the commands option in authorized_keys file like command="ls" ssh-dss <key>... it is supposed to connect using the private key associated with <key>, perform ls and then quits.

Hi All, I noticed that if I put: AuthorizedKeysFile .ssh/authorized_keys in my sshd_config file, pub/priv key authentication no longer worked.

Hi List, Happy New Years and I was hoping to get some help on an ssh issue that I am having. For some reason I am unable to scp to hosts on this network using RSA keys. Here is what I am doing/what is going on; scp the public key to remote host [amandabackup at VIRTCENT18 ~]$ scp ~/.ssh/id_rsa_amdump.pub amandabackup at lb1:~ amandabackup at lb1's password: id_rsa_amdump.pub

Hi, I'd like to use SSH without password so I can use it in scripts (for example in combination with rsync to do backups). I have Carla Schroder's "Linux Cookbook" and I'm trying out the various receipts, but the one for SSH without a password doesn't work. The book is slightly dated, and I wonder if SSH included in CentOS works differently. Any suggestions? Niki

I've recently upgraded some of my machines from an ssh1 environment to an openssh one, and consequently, I'm now using the ssh2 protocol. I can't seem to get it to allow remote logins without prompting for a passphrase or password. Is this possible? I've created id_dsa and id_rsa files etc., using ssh-keygen and have copied the public information to the remote authorized_keys

I'm running into some odd behavior that I can't figure out that I'm hoping someone can help me with. After years of SSH usage, I've decided to exchange one laziness for another and use ssh-agent. However I'm running into an odd instance where ssh is asking for the passphrase to my key stored in ~/.ssh/id_dsa when attempting to connect to a machine with nothing in

here: http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/Network/SecuringSSH the recipe for how to copy your id_rsa.pub file to a remote system is given as: "Copy the public key (id_rsa.pub) to the server and install it to the authorized_keys list: $ cat id_rsa.pub >> ~/.ssh/authorized_keys" i suspect it would be better if that were rewritten in terms of using ssh-copy-id, just to be simpler and

hi all I have generated the key in the source server(10.78.0.107) ssh-keygen -t dsa -C "root@10.78.0.107" I have added this key to authorized_keys2 of the destination server(10.78.0.117) cat id_dsa.pub >> /root/.ssh/authorized_keys2 but when I execute rsync -avz -e ssh root@10.78.0.107:/var/mail/ /var/mail in the destination server I asck me for the password How to avoid this in

Hello, I must relogin on the same machine in my shell with ssh and without password. For this I tried the procedure ssh-keygen -t dsa and ssh-keygen -t rsa. I copied the entries in /.ssh/id_dsa.pub and /.ssh/id_rsa.pub in /.ssh/authorized_keys When I open a shell I type exec ssh-agent $SHELL and then ssh-add and give my passphrases. When I now type ssh machinename my PC wants my password. I

Hi, I have created a certificate, and i execute the following command rsync -arvz /root/.ssh/id_dsa.pub technique_ftp@sinternet:/home/technique_ftp/.ssh/authorized_keys2 <mailto:technique_ftp@sinternet:/home/technique_ftp/.ssh/authorized_keys 2> but I have this problem : sinternet: Connection refused rsync: connection unexpectedly closed (0 bytes read so far) rsync error: error in rsync

I am having a problem with setting up diskless clients under CentOS 5.2. I have everything working under CentOS 4.7. This is an adaptation of the (somewhat old) Diskless Linux with PXE HOWTO by Gerd v. Egidy, originally at the URL http://www.intra2net.com/opensource/diskless-howto/, which is now defunt (there is a mirror of it at http://blog.chinaunix.net/u/2389/showart_82438.html). What I am

Hello, part of a usual OpenSSH installation are quite some files containing key material, like private keys (id_rsa, id_dsa, id_ecdsa) and the corresponding public keys (id_rsa.pub, id_dsa.pub, id_ecdsa.pub). Inspired by a recent question on Stack Overflow [1], I had a look at the OpenSSH documentation to see what format these key files have. The sshd man page [2] contains some paragraphs about

hey guys, Yesterday I had no trouble loggging into this database host. But today for some reason I can't log in using my RSA key and password authentication doesn't work either. I am able to log onto the host via console. And I was able to grab the ssh config file. Here it is: [root at db1 ~]# grep -v '#' /etc/ssh/sshd_config |sed '/^\s*$/d' HostKey

I have two servers identified as `server-1 - 192.168.3.128` and `server-2 - 192.168.3.130`. I am setting up `capifony` for automatic deployment from server-1 to server-2 and this is what I have done so far: 1. In both servers I have created a user `deploy` without password since that's the user I will use for deployment. 2. In server-1 I setup a SSH keys by running the command:

There is no /root/.ssh/authorized_keys on remote host, so I have to authenticate with password. On the remote host: # /usr/sbin/sshd -T | egrep permitroot permitrootlogin yes Attempting: $ ssh root@<remotehost> shows: Received disconnect from <remotehost> port 22:2: Too many authentication failures for root packet_write_wait: Connection to <remotehost> port 22: Broken

I see the Samba guide suggests using rsync to keep sysvols in sync, but this poses a problem with ID's and it is only one-way. I have been hesitant to suggest anything because of the flak I have been getting, but I do believe I have a much better solution that transfers files via SSH, is bi-directional (no more only editing group policy on one server), and does NOT set UID/GID

Dear All, could anybody be so kind and explain me such situation: I set up OpenSSH client on Windows 7. Then I generated keys pair by 'ssh-keygen -t dsa' and with empty (no) passphrase. Then I inserted appropriate info into authorized_keys file on my Unix host. But when I try to connect to my Unix host 'ssh' asks for passphrase for 'id_dsa' and than wants to authenticate
