Any suggestions welcome.
You also have to turn off passwords. I have the following in /etc/ssh/ssh_config:
# To disable tunneled clear text passwords, change to no here! PasswordAuthentication no #PermitEmptyPasswords no
# Change to no to disable s/key passwords ChallengeResponseAuthentication no
Thanks James! OK, it was the latter, ChallengeResponseAuthentication. It was commented out. Default seems to be 'yes'. Now it seems to get through, but now I have to get the keys put in the right places. I get the message: 'Permission denied (publickey).' It is reading the public key, but where is it comparing? I am on the client as root, and the keys are under /root/.ssh/. On the server id_rsa.pub was copied to /home/sshuser/.ssh/authorized_keys. I login as the user 'sshuser' onto the server. (I disabled root login for ssh). I get 'Permission denied (publickey)' I am looking at: http://en.opensuse.org/SDB:Configure_openSSH#Public_Key_Authentication (one of many). I even tried 'AuthorizedKeysFile %h/.ssh/authorized_keys' in /etc/ssh/sshd_config, to no avail. :-) Dreiel -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
