Hi,
i am trying to connect my Putty session on a windows box to a linux SSH, i have generated private and public key pairs using puttygen, i have set the public one to be in an OPENSSH format... and have put this in my authorized_keys file in linux, when i connect i get the following errors:
Server refused our key,
and then a popup window that says...
Disconnected: no supported authentication methods available (server sent: publickey,gssapi-with-mic)
any ideas what this could be?
***
managed to find a reason for this...
by looking at /var/log/secure it said that the directory previous to the .ssh directory had the wrong permissions...
so /home/.ssh was 700
but /home was 777 :S
so i changed /home to 700 and then this worked OK
thanks for all the views!
