Re: [webmin-l] problem with ssh key

[<and...@fr...>]

Thank you and all others for your answers.
I am still having no success.

anyway

1) I am using OpensSSH, sshd NOT ssh2d (Yes, I was confused about ssh2 and
ssh or ssh2 "protocol 1 or 2 flavour ": now it is clear, thanks David:
>Is your server running OpenSSH (sshd) or SSH2 (sshd2)? The location &
>format of the public key is different. Note this is *not* the same as
>SSH protocol 1 & 2. Both OpenSSH & SSH2 will talk protocol 1 & 2 quite
>happily.
)

2) my /etc/ssh/sshd_config is wholly commented, apart from last lines:
# override default of no subsystems
Subsystem       sftp    /usr/lib/ssh/sftp-server

# This enables accepting locale enviroment variables LC_* LANG, see
sshd_config(5).

AcceptEnv LANG LC_CTYPE LC_NUMERIC LC_TIME LC_COLLATE LC_MONETARY
LC_MESSAGES
AcceptEnv LC_PAPER LC_NAME LC_ADDRESS LC_TELEPHONE LC_MEASUREMENT
AcceptEnv LC_IDENTIFICATION LC_ALL
IgnoreRhosts yes
IgnoreUserKnownHosts no
PrintMotd yes
StrictModes no
RSAAuthentication yes
PubkeyAuthentication yes
PermitRootLogin yes
PermitEmptyPasswords no
GatewayPorts no
AllowTcpForwarding yes
KeepAlive yes
Protocol 2


NOTE: I had to manually add
PubkeyAuthentication yes
it was not present;

now I have only .ssh directory: root example:

drwxr--r-- 2 root root      112 Dec 18 14:37 .ssh

inside it:
-rwxr--r-- 1 root root 294 Dec 18 14:37 lamiachiave.pub

I removed authorization file;

I also tryed to modify the line:
IgnoreUserKnownHosts no

in
IgnoreUserKnownHosts yes

no changes, still getting

"Server refused our key"

I am sorry, but more help is required, sigh!

I created my keys pair using puttygen: perhaps they are not compatible; is
it possible to use something different ?
In other words: If I create a new user, webmin prepares the keys, but if I
already have one  (the usual root...) what can I do ?
Should I manually use ssh-keygen ?

Thanks in advence,

Andrea

Hi

.ssh is the correct directory for ssh and ssh2. Check your sshd_config file
where you can over ride the default setting for stored keys.

# Authentication:
LoginGraceTime 600
PermitRootLogin no
StrictModes yes
DenyUsers  serious
RSAAuthentication yes
PubkeyAuthentication yes
#AuthorizedKeysFile     %h/.ssh/authorized_keys
