Re: decoding sshd failure
Someone wrote:
Below is a fragment of output from sshd -d -d -d
Can someone tell me why it doesn't like my publickey? I think I've done
everything right, but no joy. I can login using the password just fine.
Sorry, I missed the start of this thread so I don't know who the
original author is but I have some suggestions:
I had a problem with ssh not finding my .ssh directory. It turned out
that ssh gets your home directory from /etc/passwd and not from $HOME
and in my case, for perverse Windows-related reasons I don't understand,
this was different. Editing /etc/passwd fixed it. Check the path that
ssh is reporting that its looking in and check that this is the right place.
Also, I had an embarrassing error the first time I set this up - being
British I spelt authorized_keys with an 's' not a 'z'. It took me a
while to spot the problem.
You don't say what your directory structure is, so could one of these be
the problem?
