My client machine is Windows 2000 Professional and the server is RedHat Linux 7.3. The sshd on the server is OpenSSH_3.1p1 I ran the cygwin shell by double-clicking the icon that it created on the desktop. Next, I connected to my server by typing: ssh neil AT cvs DOT JAMMConsulting DOT com It asked me to accept the host key and then my password. I logged on successfully. Then, I logged out of the server. I then tried to create the keys by typing: ssh-keygen -t rsa I hit return on all of the prompts. This created an id_rsa and id_rsa.pub in the .ssh directory under my home directory. I then transferred the id_rsa.pub file to the server by first logging onto the server using sftp neil AT cvs DOT JAMMConsulting DOT com It asked me for my password so I supplied it. Once in, I had to create an .ssh directory, so I did these commands: mkdir .ssh cd .ssh I then transferred the file with this command: put id_rsa.pub authorized_keys Once finished, I exited the sftp session and tried logging in again with: ssh neil AT cvs DOT JAMMConsulting DOT com But it is still asking for a password. When I use: ssh -v neil AT cvs DOT JAMMConsulting DOT com I get these messages: OpenSSH_3.6.1p1, SSH protocols 1.5/2.0, OpenSSL 0x0090701f debug1: Rhosts Authentication disabled, originating port will not be trusted. debug1: Connecting to cvs.JAMMConsulting.com [204.130.252.206] port 22. debug1: Connection established. debug1: identity file /home/Neil Aggarwal/.ssh/identity type -1 debug1: identity file /home/Neil Aggarwal/.ssh/id_rsa type 1 debug1: identity file /home/Neil Aggarwal/.ssh/id_dsa type -1 debug1: Remote protocol version 1.99, remote software version OpenSSH_3.1p1 debug1: match: OpenSSH_3.1p1 pat OpenSSH_2.*,OpenSSH_3.0*,OpenSSH_3.1* debug1: Enabling compatibility mode for protocol 2.0 debug1: Local version string SSH-2.0-OpenSSH_3.6.1p1 debug1: SSH2_MSG_KEXINIT sent debug1: SSH2_MSG_KEXINIT received debug1: kex: server->client aes128-cbc hmac-md5 none debug1: kex: client->server aes128-cbc hmac-md5 none debug1: SSH2_MSG_KEX_DH_GEX_REQUEST sent debug1: expecting SSH2_MSG_KEX_DH_GEX_GROUP debug1: SSH2_MSG_KEX_DH_GEX_INIT sent debug1: expecting SSH2_MSG_KEX_DH_GEX_REPLY debug1: Host 'cvs.jammconsulting.com' is known and matches the RSA host key. debug1: Found key in /home/Neil Aggarwal/.ssh/known_hosts:1 debug1: ssh_rsa_verify: signature correct debug1: SSH2_MSG_NEWKEYS sent debug1: expecting SSH2_MSG_NEWKEYS debug1: SSH2_MSG_NEWKEYS received debug1: SSH2_MSG_SERVICE_REQUEST sent debug1: SSH2_MSG_SERVICE_ACCEPT received debug1: Authentications that can continue: publickey,password,keyboard-interacti ve debug1: Next authentication method: publickey debug1: Trying private key: /home/Neil Aggarwal/.ssh/identity debug1: Offering public key: /home/Neil Aggarwal/.ssh/id_rsa debug1: Authentications that can continue: publickey,password,keyboard-interacti ve debug1: Trying private key: /home/Neil Aggarwal/.ssh/id_dsa debug1: Next authentication method: keyboard-interactive debug1: Authentications that can continue: publickey,password,keyboard-interacti ve debug1: Next authentication method: password neil AT cvs DOT jammconsulting DOT com's password: Any ideas?
