Title: ssh access
Post by: Christian Frabel on October 23, 2001, 10:32:23 PM

Dear all,
I am not able to connect on an e-smith server using ssh with pair keys (i.e. without usinf passwd). A verbose ssh option shows that the system claims that the "authorized_keys" file has wrong ownership or mods !!
Need help

Read the man page.  

The permissions on the files in the user's .ssh directory must not be readable or writeable by anyone other than the user.  Usually I just do something like:

    chmod 700 ~/.ssh
    chmod 600 ~/.ssh/*

Do you think it's enough to explain why I can't login ?
