This error is when you ssh in (with PuTTY, for example) without attaching the private key.
-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [CentOS] SSH login from user with empty password From: Michael Schultz <[email protected]> Date: Thu, October 10, 2013 3:44 pm To: [email protected] Hello list, on a CentOS 6.4 machine I'm creating accounts with empty passwords. Each user's public key is located in <user's home>/.ssh/authorized_keys. When trying to ssh into that machine, following error message is displayed: Permission denied (publickey). In /etc/ssh/sshd_config I've set: PasswordAuthentication no UsePAM no If I set a password for the users, the public key auth works without any problems. Could anyone tell me what I'm missing here?
