Additionally, I have UserPrivilegeSeparation on, PasswordAuthentication on, RSAAuthentication on, and PubkeyAuthentication on in sshd_config Sadly, it still prompts for the password. I don't see any errors in the logs about incorrect permissions for the key on the server side. Those logs are going to the event log or I would paste them here. Here is the log from ssh -vvv fl OpenSSH_5.8p1 Debian-7ubuntu1, OpenSSL 1.0.0e 6 Sep 2011 debug1: Reading configuration data /home/frew/.ssh/config debug1: Applying options for fl debug1: Reading
