Hello,
I generated an ssh key on a Linux server and pushed the public key to the remote server's authorized_keys files with the following command;
ssh-copy-id -i ~/.ssh/linux_server.pub freebsd-server
...however a password is still being requested when logging in to the remote bsd server. Once on the remote server I can see the key for the linux server in the authorized_keys file.
Any suggestions to resolve the password request?
afaicr you have to restart the receiving server, as the authorized keys will only be read during server-startup. On bsd-servers, you might want to check the file permissions: if it is too wide, they might not be accepted. Other suggestion, open a shell with ssh, and open the authorized_keys with vi. If you have a second shell open you can try insert the key with cut-and-past. hw -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
