Bug ID: 2372
Summary: Print warning when file permissions too loose for ssh
key authentication
Product: Portable OpenSSH
Version: 6.9p1
Hardware: 68k
OS: Mac OS X
Status: NEW
Severity: enhancement
Priority: P5
Component: ssh
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
SSH key configuration is the bane of my existence. No matter how I
check and double-check file permissions, there's always that one file
or folder that I forget about, that silently triggers SSH ignoring my
painstakingly configured SSH key setup, dropping me into a password
authentication prompt.
In the future, could ssh please display a warning about the file or
folder with improper permissions when attempting key-based
authentication? It would really help out newbies.
