Tiffany Walker asked:
server 1 which dials into server 2
ssh-keygen -t dsa -b 1024 (no password)
scp id_dsa.pub [email protected]:/home/user/.ssh
server2:
[~/.ssh]# cat id_dsa.pub >> ./authorized_keys
But when I do ssh [email protected] I get:
[email protected]'s password:
EDIT:
server1: ssh-keygen -t dsa -b 1024 (no password)
server1: ssh-copy-id -i ~/.ssh/id_dsa [email protected]
server1: ssh [email protected] -- get promoted for a password
How do I get the correct user used so I can login with no password?
My answer:
The permissions on the .ssh directory and/or the files within it are wrong on the remote server.
You can fix these manually yourself, or just use the ssh-copy-id utility to copy your public keys over to the server. This will also fix any broken permissions of this type.
ssh-copy-id -i ~/.ssh/id_dsa [email protected]
If you still have trouble, you need to look at sshd debug logs on the server.
