the server file /home/username/.ssh/authorized_keys must contain a line containing /home/username/.ssh/id_dsa.pub (use ssh-keygen -t dsa to generate it)
hmmm.
First the directory on my system is /home/<user>/.ssh2
There I have two files:
authorization <user>.pub
and authorization contains one line:
key <user>.pub
Furthermore /etc/ssh/sshd_config must not have PubkeyAuthentication no (yes is the default) [if you delete it remember to /etc/init.d/sshd restart]
I saw a line of #PubkeyAuthentication yes
which I uncommented and restarted. No difference, so I suspect you are right about yes being the default...
ah, I just found the following:
# The strategy used for options in the default sshd_config shipped with # OpenSSH is to specify options with their default value where # possible, but leave them commented. Uncommented options change a # default value.
:)
and what do I do with the section that says:
# For this to work you will also need host keys in /etc/ssh/ssh_known_hosts #RhostsRSAAuthentication no # similar for protocol version 2 #HostbasedAuthentication no # Change to yes if you don't trust ~/.ssh/known_hosts for # RhostsRSAAuthentication and HostbasedAuthentication #IgnoreUserKnownHosts no # Don't read the user's ~/.rhosts and ~/.shosts files #IgnoreRhosts yes
thanks
