I'd think this would be widely known if it were true; which suggests that I'm just doing something wrong. This is my preferred theory, as if I'm doing something wrong I can just change to doing the right thing -- once I discover what it is.
So, the problem: On my solaris box (SunOS fsfs 5.11 snv_44 i86pc i386 i86pc) I've got sshd running (it's set up by default in the install, so I don't think I had much chance to mung that). In my user account, I've created a .ssh directory and created an authorized_keys file containing the public key I normally use for remote access. I copied this file from a debian linux box, where it was working. I cannot, however, get public-key access into this system; I always have to provide my password. I also can't figure out where sshd is logging anything; that might tell me something useful about what's going on I suppose. I've enabled debugging on the client side (and I've tried two clients; ssh from debian sarge, and putty on my windows box; I use both regularly and they work in all other cases, and they work to Solaris except that they ignore the public-key authentication and make me provide the password every time). I've asked about this before, and gotten no input. Even if all you can tell me is that you do run ssh sessions with public key authentication between putty on windows or openssh on debian, please tell me that. Knowing it works for everybody else is useful information. -- David Dyer-Bennet, <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, <http://www.dd-b.net/dd-b/> RKBA: <http://www.dd-b.net/carry/> Pics: <http://www.dd-b.net/dd-b/SnapshotAlbum/> Dragaera/Steven Brust: <http://dragaera.info/> _______________________________________________ opensolaris-help mailing list [email protected]
