Hi,
I am trying to generate ssh without having to type a password.
I have done this on numerous occasions using the procedure below and it has worked fine but not on this occasion.
user1@sys1:ssh-keygen -t dsa -N ""
<press enter for any questions>
user1@sys1: ll .ssh/id_dsa.pub
Copy id_dsa.pub file onto sys2 into /tmp dir
user2@sys2: mkdir -p .ssh
user2@sys2:cd .ssh
user2@sys2:cat /tmp/id_dsa.pub >> authorized_Keys
Any ideas why it still prompts for a password?
Regards,
D.
Capital K on authorized_keys?
apologies, that is a typo - lower case k.
ph34r# mkdir ~/.ssh
ph34r# chmod 700 ~/.ssh
ph34r# cd ~/.ssh
ph34r# ssh-keygen -t rsa
Generating public/private rsa key pair.
Enter file in which to save the key ("your_local_home"/.ssh/id_rsa):
Enter passphrase (empty for no passphrase):
Enter same passphrase again:
Your identification has been saved in id_rsa.
Your public key has been saved in id_rsa.pub.
The key fingerprint is:
17:5a:e7:77:ad:2c:0b:8e:f3:97:f8:20:53:79:69:55 root@ph34r
ph34r# scp ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub jimbo@l0ath1ng.tehinterweb.net:/home/jimbo/id_rsa.ph34r.pub
ph34r# ssh jimbo@l0ath1ng.tehinterweb.net
Password:
% mkdir .ssh
% chmod 700 .ssh
% cat id_rsa.ph34r.pub >> .ssh/authorized_keys
% chmod 644 .ssh/authorized_keys
ssh-copy-id
Hi,
I have used the ssh-copy-id with the following result.....
[oracle@node1 .ssh]$ ssh-copy-id -i id_dsa.pub node2
oracle@node2 password:
Now try logging into the machine, with "ssh node2'", and check in:
.ssh/authorized_keys
to make sure we haven't added extra keys that you weren't expecting.
[oracle@node1 .ssh]$ ssh node2
oracle@node2's password:
......still requesting a password.
R,
D.
What does ssh -v node2 say?
Hi,
In verbose mode.....
[oracle@node1 .ssh]$ ssh -v node2

I assume you can actually log in if you supply a password? (i.e. it's not disabled)
yes I can log in with a pasword.
Might be worth adding, I applied the exact same procedure from the same host to another server on the same vlan and it worked fine. All permissions are the same.

Try using ssh-copy-id without specifying the file
Hi,
It produces the folowing:
[oracle@node1.ssh]$ ssh-copy-id node2
/usr/bin/ssh-copy-id: ERROR: No identities found
[oracle@node1 .ssh]$ ssh-copy-id -i node2
/usr/bin/ssh-copy-id: ERROR: No identities found
R,
D.
run ssh-keygen first as the user on node 1 and node 2.
I have already generated the keys (id_dsa.pub)
I would suggest you to look into /etc/ssh/sshd_config file before copying the keys to another server, look for the entry "AuthorizedKeyFile" location in the config file, check where it is pointing to user's home directory authorized file or default location as /etc/ssh/auth_keys directory.
This is all correctly configured.
