In that case, the only entries that you care about are in "known_hosts" unless sshd is stopped. As root: /etc/rc.d/rc.sshd restart It can happen, esp. when you reinstall a linux OS, that new host keys are generated (see also /etc/ssh). In that case simply deleting known_hosts file and then: ============= $ ssh susan@glaurung The authenticity of host 'glaurung (192.168.1.27)' can't be established. ECDSA key fingerprint is SHA256:6/ezoaMfN/zBE5XZoHVl1y7rBZ4vqUDbGaHci8YyQRk. Are you sure you want to continue connecting (yes/no)? yes Warning: Permanently added 'glaurung,192.168.1.27' (ECDSA) to the list of known hosts. susan@glaurung's password: Last login: Fri Feb 24 11:43:30 2017 from 192.168.1.3 Linux 4.4.38. susan@glaurung:~$ =============== NOTE: password != passphrase. using username/password means you have to an account on the host or know the hosts user/password to use. in the above example, if I try: ============== $ ssh glaurung beowulf@glaurung's password: Permission denied, please try again. beowulf@glaurung's password: =============== Failure since user "beowulf" does not exist on "glaurung" Since you have an authorized keys file did you try $ ssh -i private-key-file username@host without the "i" the default is ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub -Ed _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
