Hi all.. I am trying to use public key authentication between a freebsd 4.6 box and a sun box. I have numerous other sun boxes doing publickey authentication, mainly for scp scripts. I have setup the bsd box so it is configured the same. I have generated the keys and copyied the id_dsa.pub to the sun server and placed it in the authorized_keys file. However, everytime I invoke scp or ssh on the bsd box, it is forcing password authentication.
Output with -v -v; debug1: Reading configuration data /etc/ssh/ssh_config debug1: Applying options for * debug1: Rhosts Authentication disabled, originating port will not be trusted. debug1: restore_uid debug1: ssh_connect: getuid 1001 geteuid 1001 anon 1 debug1: Connecting to filestore [10.203.60.137] port 22. debug1: temporarily_use_uid: 1001/1001 (e=1001) debug1: restore_uid debug1: temporarily_use_uid: 1001/1001 (e=1001) debug1: restore_uid debug1: Connection established. debug3: No RSA1 key file /home/esix/.ssh/id_dsa.pub. debug1: identity file /home/esix/.ssh/id_dsa.pub type 2 debug1: Remote protocol version 1.99, remote software version OpenSSH_3.0.2p1 debug1: match: OpenSSH_3.0.2p1 pat ^OpenSSH debug1: Local version string SSH-1.5-OpenSSH_2.9 FreeBSD localisations 20011202 debug1: Waiting for server public key. debug1: Received server public key (768 bits) and host key (1024 bits). debug3: check_host_in_hostfile: filename /home/esix/.ssh/known_hosts debug3: check_host_in_hostfile: match line 1 debug1: Host 'filestore' is known and matches the RSA1 host key. debug1: Found key in /home/esix/.ssh/known_hosts:1 debug1: Encryption type: 3des debug1: Sent encrypted session key. debug1: Installing crc compensation attack detector. debug1: Received encrypted confirmation. debug1: Doing password authentication. If I do the same on the sun boxes, I see it's authenticating via publickey,password,interactive. What will get ssh on fbsd to do this?
