Hi All, I am trying to ssh into a RH server (CentOS) using pubkey authentication and this is what I am getting back: ============================== debug1: SSH2_MSG_NEWKEYS sent debug1: expecting SSH2_MSG_NEWKEYS debug1: SSH2_MSG_NEWKEYS received debug1: SSH2_MSG_SERVICE_REQUEST sent debug1: SSH2_MSG_SERVICE_ACCEPT received debug1: Authentications that can continue: publickey,gssapi-with-mic,password debug1: Next authentication method: publickey debug1: Trying private key: /home/michael/.ssh/id_rsa debug1: Offering public key: /home/michael/.ssh/id_dsa debug1: Authentications that can continue: publickey,gssapi-with-mic,password debug1: Next authentication method: password ==============================
I find it confusing. First of all I do not have a id_rsa. Second, my id_dsa is my private key not my public key. My public key is id_dsa.pub Is this a server configuration issue, or something to do with my Gentoo set up? PS. Not sure if this is relevant but although my user name on the server is mick, for reasons better known to him the sysadmin has created my home directory as /home/mic - could it be that sshd is looking for /home/mick? -- Regards, Mick
