A few weeks or so ago, I remember installing openssh via fink on my macbook pro (15 Al unibody). Using ssh to connect to other machines worked fine, however, I found that I could not ssh in to my machine anymore. After scratching my head for a while, I gave up and removed the openssh package via the fink remove command and find that I still cannot log in to my laptop machine even using localhost. What is odd about this is that I am unable to login via ssh to localhost even when I copy the .ssh directory from my desktop which works fine (permissions are fine as well). The file /etc/sshd_config is also the default file. There are no errors showing up in /var/secure.log. The console just shows that ssh tries to check a public key and apparently gets now answer. Might anyone have clue as to what is going on? I am fine to use the fink openssh as well, but I thought it would be best to get things working first.
It seems that we send a pubkey and wait for reply, but it never comes. ssh -vvv paulf...@localhost bunch of text debug1: SSH2_MSG_SERVICE_ACCEPT received debug2: key: /Users/paulfons/.ssh/id_dsa (0x107f50) debug2: key: /Users/paulfons/.ssh/identity (0x0) debug2: key: /Users/paulfons/.ssh/id_rsa (0x0) debug1: Authentications that can continue: publickey debug3: start over, passed a different list publickey debug3: preferred publickey,keyboard-interactive,password debug3: authmethod_lookup publickey debug3: remaining preferred: keyboard-interactive,password debug3: authmethod_is_enabled publickey debug1: Next authentication method: publickey debug1: Offering public key: /Users/paulfons/.ssh/id_dsa debug3: send_pubkey_test debug2: we sent a publickey packet, wait for reply debug1: Authentications that can continue: publickey Here it fails as I only have a single dsa key in the folder. The access for .ssh is set for 700 and for authorized_keys to 600 whilst the rest are set to 700.
