Hello, I have a problem using ssh in combination with an identity file. Here my config entry:
Host XXXX User YYYY IdentityFile ~/.ssh/YYY.key RSAAuthentication yes RhostsRSAAuthentication yes Compression yes CompressionLevel 6 ForwardX11 no Now Whenever I use ssh -v -v -v XXXX -l YYYY I get the following in the log: [...] debug1: authentications that can continue: publickey,password,keyboard-interactive debug3: start over, passed a different list publickey,password,keyboard-interactive debug3: preferred publickey,keyboard-interactive,password debug3: authmethod_lookup publickey debug3: remaining preferred: keyboard-interactive,password debug3: authmethod_is_enabled publickey debug1: next auth method to try is publickey debug2: we did not send a packet, disable method debug3: authmethod_lookup keyboard-interactive debug3: remaining preferred: password debug3: authmethod_is_enabled keyboard-interactive debug1: next auth method to try is keyboard-interactive debug2: userauth_kbdint debug2: we sent a keyboard-interactive packet, wait for reply debug1: authentications that can continue: publickey,password,keyboard-interactive debug3: userauth_kbdint: disable: no info_req_seen debug2: we did not send a packet, disable method debug3: authmethod_lookup password debug3: remaining preferred: debug3: authmethod_is_enabled password debug1: next auth method to try is password I have the identity file readable by me, owned by me and with rights 400. It is correctly recognized in the debug output. What I don't understand are the following lines: debug3: authmethod_is_enabled publickey debug1: next auth method to try is publickey debug2: we did not send a packet, disable method debug3: authmethod_lookup keyboard-interactive Why does ssh not send a packet? What's the error with method publickey? (I don't own the server and have no access to their logs. Is there anything else I can do to debug the situation on my side?). My config: all latest as of 22 Oct. 2001.
