Hi All,
I am trying to create an ssh connection between 2 servers.
Below are the steps which i have followed.
On server A::
ssh-keygen -t rsa
scp ~/.ssh/id_dsa.pub user@B:
Server B ::
cat id_dsa.pub >> ./.ssh/authorized_keys
But when i tried to connect through ssh i was prompted for password.
Please find my ssh version
OpenSSH_4.3p2, OpenSSL 0.9.8n 24 Mar 2010
Please correct me if there are any mistakes in my method.
You need to chmod 700 your ~/.ssh/ folders, and make sure your home-folders aren't world-readable, writable, executable. ssh will stop them from connecting if anything is wrong with these permissions.
I have changed the permissions of .ssh directory to 700 on both server A and server B. And even changed the permissions of authorized_keys to 700 on server B. But still not able to connect.
What are the permissions on your home directories?
Please find the list of files and directories in my home directory
$ cd $HOME
$ ls -lart

SSH is picky about the permissions of your home directory itself, not just the things inside it. What are the permissions on your home directories?
ls -ld ~/
Please find the permissions
$ ls -ld ~/
drwx------ 3 u277084 fnusr 14 Oct 4 03:58 /home/u277084/
