Sorry enb, I typed a fairly lengthy comment and hit submit, but I think I may have closed my browser before it was sent.
First off, the file must be ~/.ssh/authorized_keys. Second, the permissions on ~/.ssh and ~/.ssh/authorized_keys must be secure enough so that other users cannot see the contents, or sshd will complain. Try ls -ld ~/.ssh and ls -l ~/.ssh/authorized_keys and make sure that other users cannot read or access them. If the permissions are correct, then you may want to look in /var/log/auth.log on the systems where this fails for any error messages stating why. If there are no errors in auth.log and your permissions seem correct, then you can try ssh -v [ whatever other options you want ] And paste or upload that as a text file here. So, marking Incomplete (again) pending response from enb. Also please do not Confirm your own bug reports. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Status for information on when marking a bug as Confirmed is appropriate. ** Changed in: openssh (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Incomplete -- ssh autologin fails to work https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/669338 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
