Please tell me whose permissions should be 700, please name the files whose permissions I must set to 700, and also let me know if anuthing lese has to be done in order to execute the ssh command.
My set up is as follows:
The /etc/ssh directory is owned by root, group of root and have 755
permissions (rwxrw-rw-). The files IN /etc/ssh are all be owned by
root, group of root with 500 permissions (rw-------) EXCEPT ssh_config
and any "*.pub" files. Those have 544 permissions (rw-r--r--).
In _your_ home directory, the .ssh directory is owned by you with your
group and have 700 permissions (rwx------). The files in it should
be owned by you with your group and have 500 permissions (rw-------)
except any "*.pub" files, which can have 544 permissions (rw-r--r--).
Really, since the directory can only be read by you, all files could be
544 (rw-r--r--). ssh really is worried about someone other than you
writing to those files.

Dear All FEDORA Users,
I am a new bir in fedora linux system as administrator.
Please tell me one thing.
In my fedora linux os server, i am not able to sshd service .
The thing is that, once I had to change the permissions of the files
just in order to avoid the other users to explore the system, using
chmod command. However, I have immediately changed the permissons
again back.
Soon after that I could not log on to the fedora server systm using
the ssh serverhostname username command.
When tried to run sshd service using service sshd restart, I got the
folloeing errors shown below:-
Permissions 0755 for '/etc/ssh/ssh_host_dsa_key' are too open.
It is recommended that your private key files are NOT accessible by
others.
This private key will be ignored.
bad permissions :ignore key: /etc/ssh/ssh_host_dsa_key
Could not load host key : /etc/ssh/ssh_host_dsa_key
Disabling protocol version 2. Could not load host key
sshd: no hostkeys available --exiting
Please immedialtely let me know, what to fix in order to restart the
service sshd.
Permissions should be 700.
