If you've copied your publickey to the server already (`ssh-copy-id` will add it to the authorized_keys file fro you), and the permissions are correct, I can't think of anything else to try without looking at the server.

The sshd logs should shed some light, and make sure that sshd_config has "PubkeyAuthentication yes"

James,

I'm not an ssh expert and I don't play one on TV and I can't get the logs to
this system where I'm emailing so I will have to type in here.

...
debug1: Authentications that can continue: publickey,gssapi-with-mic,password
debug1: Next authentication method: publickey
debug1: Trying private key: /home/panasas/.ssh/identity
debug1: Offering public key: /home/panasas/.ssh/id_rsa
debug1: Authentications that can continue: publickey,gssapi-with-mic,password
debug1: Trying private key: /home/panasas/.ssh/id_dsa
debug1: Next authentication method: password
<prompts me for my password>

So it looks like it doesn't like my id_rsa key? Should I also create a dsa key
combination and add the public to authorized_keys.

Thanks!

Jeff

Hi Jeff,

Did you specify the key on the command line (-i .ssh/id_rsa), or load it into an agent with shh-add?

You can make sure you're sending the key by increasing the verbosity (-v), and check the logs on the clients. sshd will log why it rejected a key for authentication.

The permissions should be 600

Afternoon cluster party goers,

I'm having trouble on a cluster with passwordless ssh. I followed all the
steps (I think). On the head node, I generated the public and private
keys and then copied id_rsa.pub to authorized keys. Then I tried
logging into compute nodes and it asks for my password every time
(regardless of the number of times I log into the node). I've tried changing
the permissions on authorized_keys a few times (600, 644) and that
doesn't seem to change the behavior. Any ideas?

Thanks!

Jeff
