Connecting to -> Ubuntu server running apache
Connecting from -> Mac OS X 10.4
As soon as I had created my 'dsa' and 'rsa' keys I sent them to be added to the 'authenticated whatever file' so I could connect.
The first time I tried it...
- Asked for pasphrase
- Connected to server
- no prob
So I finished playing around and typed 'logout' to close the connection.
Now I try to connect it...
- Errors
- Permission denied (publickey)
I've verified that both the id_dsa.pub/id_rsa.pub have the same values as the 'authentication file' on the server. Nothing changed.
I'm really stumped. Things I've tried to do to right the error is..
- removed values from the 'known hosts' file
- thats it
Please some insight would be highly appreciated.
The whole idea behind sending your keys to the other server is that you don't use a passsword (or passphrase) when logging in, so that you were asked for one raises a question are you trying to set ssh-agent, or just a straight passwordless connection?
If you could be more specific as to what you did and how you did it, maybe someone here will be able to help you. Avoid describing things as "authenticated whatever file".
I couldn't remember the name of the file, but as I know its typically named the same thing through out most systems.
anyways, It started working as soon as the server was updated so its good now.
Sorry, for not being as descriptive as I could-should-have been but I'm a teenage newby-just turned 18- and don't have the background that a few of you have.
