http://www.unix.com – Unable to set ssh passwordless authentication I am unable to ssh with passwordless authentication from Windows client onto UBuntu server. The ssh version on UBuntu is OpenSSH_5.8p1 Debian-7ubuntu1, OpenSSL 1.0.0e , while SSH on Windows Client is OpenSSH_5.1p1, OpenSSL 0.9.8k. I turned on ssh debugging and noticed these messages on server and client: Code: /usr/bin/sshd -d -p 2222 on server: adminuser@server:~/.ssh$ /usr/sbin/sshd -d -p 2222 debug1: sshd version OpenSSH_5.8p1 Debian-7ubuntu1 debug1: could not open key file '/etc/ssh/ssh_host_rsa_key': Permission denied Could not load hos (HowTos)

I am running a Linux version 2.6.27-vpac2 on a PXA270 platform (armv5tel) I have a version of OpenSSH 3.8.1 p1 (Debian-8.sarge.4) trying to get to run on it. I have run the sshd in -ddd format to debug and below is the result when I try to connect:

root@thisslave:~/.ssh$ /usr/sbin/sshd -ddd -f /etc/ssh/sshd_config debug2: read_server_config: filename /etc/ssh/sshd_config debug1: sshd versio

I've got a server (VDS) on Debian. I have recently installed xfce (apt-get install xfce4) through SSH, and after doing that I can't login via SSH anymore.

Here is my ssh client output:

dmitry@dimitrios:~$ ssh -vl root 78.47.129.251 OpenSSH_5.8p1 Debian-7ubuntu1, OpenSSL 1.0.0e 6 Sep 2011 debug1: Reading configuration data /etc/ssh/ssh_config debug1: Applying options for * debug1: Connecting to 7

Hello, how are you? I have installed Debian lenny with software RAID0 (i think it makes no sence to my problem but maybe...)

I have installed apache2+php+MySQL (everything worked) I have installed proftpd (to enable users to put files over FTP)

after this i tried to connect over SSH to my server i have got:

Code: $ ssh -l shark 192.168.0.254 -v

Hi,

I get the below when i try to sftp to a remote server

Code: $ export SOCKS5C_CONFIG=~/.ssh/socks5c.conf   $ sftp -v -s /usr/lib/sftp-server -oPort=2222 -oIdentityFile=~/.ssh/wm_privat> Connecting to ftp01.wmgruppe.de... Sun_SSH_1.1.3, SSH protocols 1.5/2.0, OpenSSL 0x0090704f debug1: Reading configuration data /etc/ssh/ssh_config debug1: Rhosts Authentication disabled, originat

This is the weirdest problem I've ever had with trying to ssh into a server. Suddenly I can't ssh from my workstation to the server on the LAN. I can do so just fine from home, however.

I tried to use github so I followed the help doc.

I have ssh setup for pub key authentication and works password-less via LAN without a problem, but over the interwebz i get this. help is very much appreciated i have been wanting to get this working for too long.

This is what happens:

ssh pureluck@10.1.1.231 password: something Connection closed

Any idea why this happens?

Update:

Here's what happens when I do ssh -vvv

name@server% ssh -vvv admin@10.1.1.231 OpenSSH_5.5p1, OpenSSL 0.9.8l 5 Nov 2009 debug1: Reading configuration data /opt/ssh/etc/ssh_config debug1: /opt/ssh/etc/ssh_config line 27: Deprecated option "RhostsAuthentication" debug2: ssh_con

I am trying to get ssh working on our server.
