similar to: command= and arbitrary keys...

Hallo, I wanted to avoid typing-in my password every occasion I remotely logged-on to a server. I created my SSH keys and copied the public part to the server and renamed it authorized_keys. My command line is: ssh root at xxxxxx.com -p 1234 The output shows the logging-on routine wants 3 types of authentication. Surely one successful authentication is sufficient ? OpenSSH_4.3p2, OpenSSL

Ok, I have OpenSSH installed on two servers. I SSH to server 1. On server 1 I ssh-keygen. I give it an empty passphrase. scp identity.pub to server 2. On server 2 I cat ident > authorized_keys on server 1 I ssh -l user server I asks for the password. If I give it the login it works. Now, I have SecureCRT on my windows machine and it connects to server 2 using a key just fine. Any clues?

Hi, I am trying to mirror a server every night using rsync. I have to backup multiple directories and multiple individual files. I also want to use ssh as transport. The problem is that I cannot get ssh to work without asking password for each step. I tried the public key thing but it doesnt work. Can some one give instructions for a layman like me. Also I want to know how to pass argument to

hello list I have a network mounted home directory shared between all hosts on my network: [bluethundr at LCENT03:~]#df -h Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/mapper/VolGroup00-LogVol00 140G 4.4G 128G 4% / /dev/sda1 99M 35M 60M 37% /boot tmpfs 1.6G 0 1.6G 0% /dev/shm nas.summitnjhome.com:/mnt/nas

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

hey listers! silly quesion: if I generate an RSA key on an NFS shared home directory, then cat >> it into the .ssh/authorized_keys file in the same location, shouldn't I then be able to ssh into each host that shares the NFS home directory without entering a passphrase (assuming the key doesn't have one)? and assuming the permissions on the authorized_keys file belong to the user

Hello I've searched quite a bit, but have so far been unsuccessful in finding an answer to a question I have concerning the upload of files via rsync over SSH. When downloading, I have been able to make use of SSH's benefits, yet still keep the rsync server safe from a shell accessible with a private SSH key lacking a passphrase by restricting the public key used by the rsync client to

I hope this isn't an invalid topic for this list. I'm on so many lists and I hate to join another one just to get help on one thing. Apologies if it's not. I am able to use ssh-keygen to generate keys so that I can ssh from my Mac to any of my SuSE systems or ssh from my Mac to any of my FreeBSD systems, without having to enter my password. When I try the same thing from a SuSE system

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

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

Hi! The current version of sshd allows to restrict keys to issue only specific commands. However, port forwarding can only be forbidden entirely. Given the following situation: A client C uses S as a POP3 server. We want to poll E-Mail via POP3 from S to A via an ssh tunnel without being asked for a password. Thus, we create a passphrase-less key pair on A, transmit the public key to S and

As background, I read: http://therowes.net/~greg/2011/03/23/ssh-trusted-ca-key/ http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/aix/library/au-sshsecurity/ http://bryanhinton.com/blog/openssh-security http://www.linuxhowtos.org/manpages/5/sshd_config.htm

To the openssh and sudo developer mailing lists: Ssh has a key agent allowing authentication to remote hosts without entering your password/passphrase again and again, which is very convenient. I think the 'su', 'sudo', and similiar commands could benefit from this idea and mechanism. I don't have the necessary expertise in cryptology to do this myself so I just want to throw

Hi, I am trying to SSH to a remote server through R script. In other words, I would like to know how I can get a SSH connection to the remote server and then execute commands on that server with the R script. So in bash, I would normally type ssh -lusername remoteserver.com; press enter and then wait for the password prompt to key in my password. I have tried system("ssh

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

HD Moore from MetaSploit has noted that, given a pubkey (and not the corresponding private key, as might be found in authorized_keys), he can determine if he'd be able to log into an account. It's a small thing, but he's using it for very interesting recon/deanonymization. He'll be releasing a paper shortly, not overplaying the characteristic, but certainly showing it can be used

Is there any work going into placing keys in a central directory such as LDAP ? Jeff McElroy jmcelroy at dtgnet.com

Under 2.5p2, if I ssh'd back to myself I would get a prompt asking for my passphrase, and if that was incorrect it would then ask for my password. Assuming I had a authorized_keys file with my identity.pub in it. Under 2.9.p1 it goes straight to enter password instead of asking for my passphrase. This wouldn't be a problem except that when I have "PasswordAuthentication no" I

At present whenever non-resident keys are used the key_handle required to use the token must be given by selecting the ssh 'private key' file generated by ssh-keygen during negotiation. In the more common webauthn context this key_handle would be stored on the server and then transmitted to the client during authentication. The client then checks connected tokens for one that reports it
