Hi List,

 Happy  New Years and I was hoping to get some help on an ssh issue
that I am having. For some reason I am unable to scp to hosts on this
network using RSA keys. Here is what I am doing/what is going on;

scp the public key to remote host

[amandabackup at VIRTCENT18 ~]$ scp ~/.ssh/id_rsa_amdump.pub amandabackup at lb1:~
amandabackup at lb1's password:
id_rsa_amdump.pub
                    100%  408     0.4KB/s   00:00



ssh (w/passwd) to remote host


[amandabackup at VIRTCENT18 ~]$ ssh lb1
amandabackup at lb1's password:

check to see if the key exists in authorized_keys

[amandabackup at VIRTCENT01 ~]$ grep -f id_rsa_amdump.pub ~/.ssh/authorized_keys


it didn't so cat it into authorized_keys

[amandabackup at VIRTCENT01 ~]$ cat id_rsa_amdump.pub >> ~/.ssh/authorized_keys

check again, just to make sure that it's there

[amandabackup at VIRTCENT01 ~]$ grep -f id_rsa_amdump.pub ~/.ssh/authorized_keys
ssh-rsa BlAB3Nza/FAKE-KEY-DATA--KEY-DATAKfMq4DDa0xaKb/FAKE-KEY-DATA--KEY-DATAsoqCu/boKNa/FAKE-KEY-DATA--KEY-DATAp1n9TcDtxm2XFHcOKUw2/14/bz1pWNDI/FAKE-KEY-DATA--KEY-DATAr9951JdK7Ny6lk/FAKE-KEY-DATA--KEY-DATA1/FAKE-KEY-DATA--KEY-DATAwh2dmgyxI9N69x3ypvWcGWShZw1BCJI06j5qIxvin99/FAKE-KEY-DATA--KEY-DATA

It is. so good so far. Check permissions on authorized_keys file

[amandabackup at VIRTCENT01 ~]$ ls -l ~/.ssh/authorized_keys
-rw------- 1 amandabackup disk 408 Dec 31 11:02
/var/lib/amanda/.ssh/authorized_keys

make sure we have the right home environment

HOME=/var/lib/amanda

Also good. Now, make sure ssh is looking at the right file

[root at VIRTCENT01 ~]# grep -i authorizedkeysfile /etc/ssh/sshd_config
AuthorizedKeysFile   ~/.ssh/authorized_keys	

It is. Now exit and try to ssh in

[amandabackup at VIRTCENT01 ~]$ exit
Connection to lb1 closed.
