Nope...I think I need advice on this for RHEL5. I followed the instructions below, but keep on getting prompted for a password. http://linuxproblem.org/art_9.html http://ubuntu-tutorials.com/2007/02/05/unattended-ssh-login-public-key-s sh-authorization-ssh-automatic-login/ http://magicmonster.com/kb/net/ssh/auto_login.html So I had a look at /etc/ssh/sshd_config, and changed the following lines (which were all commented out): PermitEmptyPasswords yes RSAAuthentication yes PubkeyAuthentication yes AuthorizedKeysFile .ssh/authorized_keys Then restarted sshd, but still no luck. I must be missing something silly here. Any tips? Thanks. -----Original Message----- From: redhat-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx [mailto:redhat-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Johan Booysen Sent: 20 March 2008 09:29 To: General Red Hat Linux discussion list Subject: RE: host keys authentication Found this, which may do the trick: http://wp.uberdose.com/2006/10/16/ssh-automatic-login/ -----Original Message----- From: redhat-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx [mailto:redhat-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Johan Booysen Sent: 20 March 2008 08:58 To: General Red Hat Linux discussion list Subject: host keys authentication I have an FTP server using SSH for secure file uploads/downloads. Users are chrooted into their home directories, and it works very well. Now we have the requirement that a client wants to upload/download via some or other automated process or script, so I need to work out how to do that via host keys or something similar. I understand generating keys using ssh-keygen, and so on, but I'm not sure of the specifics of allowing a user or machine on the client side to automatically authenticate using public keys, and making sure that they are then still chrooted into their home folder on the FTP server. Can anyone point me in the right direction? I've been googling it, but haven't really hit upon a good source of information for this kind of setup yet. Much appreciated. -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
