Hello Guru's,

we use ssh logon without password to collect informations with scripts from our systems.
But at one host we still need a password to logon.
The configuration are just like the other hosts.
There are some suggestion?

regards

Did you check the permissions on ~/.ssh and ~/.ssh/authorized_keys ? They should be rwx------ (0700) and rw------- (0600) . If that is not the issue, try running ssh -vvv USER@SERVER from the client to look for the possible cause.

Marcelo.

Thanks, i think the permissions are ok. But in the log i don't find the error. Do you have a suggestion?

drw-r--r-- .ssh
-rw-r--r-- authorized_keys

or /home (or any element of the path) will get you into trouble.

You can also try to run the sshd in debug mode (-ddd), listening
on a non-standard port (-p xxxx), attempt to log in using the
public key authentcation and take a good look at the sshd output.

Are you able to login when you type root's password ? I believe if you don't have rlogin=true for that user you will not be able to SSH, it could also be the PermitRootlogin is set to no on the sshd_config file.

Check the directory permission . the directory .ssh under home should have 700 . the file inside it authorized_keys should have 600 . Hope this helps.
