I don't know what has changed but it used to ask my for a passphrase. Could you tell me what to make of this output and why it doesn't use my keys? Another question, where do I have to generate keys on the client or a server. I've generated them on a client (Linux box) and move the key over to the server (Windows box) is that OK? I have generated an RSA key for SSH 1.3. Here is the verbose output: (I have substituted the real IP addresses with something like mywindowsIP etc.) ssh -v -i /root/.ssh/identity myusername AT myLinuxIP OpenSSH_3.1p1, SSH protocols 1.5/2.0, OpenSSL 0x0090602f debug1: Reading configuration data /etc/ssh/ssh_config debug1: Applying options for * debug1: Rhosts Authentication disabled, originating port will not be trusted. debug1: restore_uid debug1: ssh_connect: getuid 0 geteuid 0 anon 1 debug1: Connecting to MyWindowsIP [MyWindowsIP] port 22. debug1: temporarily_use_uid: 0/0 (e=0) debug1: restore_uid debug1: temporarily_use_uid: 0/0 (e=0) debug1: restore_uid debug1: Connection established. debug1: read PEM private key done: type DSA debug1: read PEM private key done: type RSA debug1: identity file /root/.ssh/identity type 0 debug1: Remote protocol version 1.99, remote software version OpenSSH_3.1p1 debug1: match: OpenSSH_3.1p1 pat OpenSSH* Enabling compatibility mode for protocol 2.0 debug1: Local version string SSH-2.0-OpenSSH_3.1p1 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: dh_gen_key: priv key bits set: 130/256 debug1: bits set: 1566/3191 debug1: SSH2_MSG_KEX_DH_GEX_INIT sent debug1: expecting SSH2_MSG_KEX_DH_GEX_REPLY debug1: Host 'myWindowsIP' is known and matches the RSA host key. debug1: Found key in /root/.ssh/known_hosts:1 debug1: bits set: 1540/3191 debug1: ssh_rsa_verify: signature correct debug1: kex_derive_keys debug1: newkeys: mode 1 debug1: SSH2_MSG_NEWKEYS sent debug1: waiting for SSH2_MSG_NEWKEYS debug1: newkeys: mode 0 debug1: SSH2_MSG_NEWKEYS received debug1: done: ssh_kex2. debug1: send SSH2_MSG_SERVICE_REQUEST debug1: service_accept: ssh-userauth debug1: got SSH2_MSG_SERVICE_ACCEPT debug1: authentications that can continue: publickey,password,keyboard-interacti ve debug1: next auth method to try is publickey debug1: next auth method to try is keyboard-interactive debug1: authentications that can continue: publickey,password,keyboard-interacti ve debug1: next auth method to try is password myusername AT myWindowsIP's password: Can you see why it asks me for a password even though it found an identity file? Thanks N.K. -----Original Message----- From: Larry Hall [mailto:cygwin-lh AT cygwin DOT com] Sent: Sunday, September 07, 2003 9:39 PM To: Nadia Kunkov; Cygwin List Subject: RE: Newby: setting up SSH You're best bet is to enable verbose mode for ssh (-v -v -v) and see what the client thinks it's finding. My WAG is that it's actually failing public key authentication and asking you for a password for authentication instead. But the output of the above will indicate whether my WAG is true or not.
