I have a question about the /etc/sshd_config file under cygwin. I have cygwin v1.5.5 and openssh
Cygwin Package Information Package Version cygwin 1.5.5-1 cygwin-doc 1.3-6 openssh 3.7.1p2-1 openssl 0.9.7c-1 openssl-devel 0.9.7c-1 openssl096 0.9.6j-1 What is the recommended technique to allow for ssh without passwords? Here is my procedure: 1) on the server, ssh-host-config 2) on the server, ssh-keygen -d (no passkey e.g. blank) 3) on the server, net start sshd 4) on the client, ssh-keygen -d (no passkey e.g. blank) 5) on the client, scp ~/.ssh/id_dsa.pub qar50s1: 6) on the server, cat id_dsa.pub >> .ssh/authorized_keys2 All of this works just fine until I change the /etc/sshd_config file to set StrictModes to yes [sshd_config] StrictModes yes What do I have to do to make this work? Here is the debug output: OpenSSH_3.7.1p2, SSH protocols 1.5/2.0, OpenSSL 0.9.7c 30 Sep 2003 debug1: Reading configuration data /etc/ssh_config debug1: Connecting to qar50s1 [10.11.50.1] port 22. debug1: Connection established. debug1: identity file /home/mberney/.ssh/identity type -1 debug1: identity file /home/mberney/.ssh/id_rsa type -1 debug1: identity file /home/mberney/.ssh/id_dsa type 2 debug1: Remote protocol version 1.99, remote software version OpenSSH_3.7.1p2 debug1: match: OpenSSH_3.7.1p2 pat OpenSSH* debug1: Enabling compatibility mode for protocol 2.0 debug1: Local version string SSH-2.0-OpenSSH_3.7.1p2 debug1: SSH2_MSG_KEXINIT sent debug1: SSH2_MSG_KEXINIT received debug1: kex: server->client aes128-cbc hmac-md5 none debug1: kex: client->server aes128-cbc hmac-md5 none debug1: SSH2_MSG_KEX_DH_GEX_REQUEST sent debug1: expecting SSH2_MSG_KEX_DH_GEX_GROUP debug1: SSH2_MSG_KEX_DH_GEX_INIT sent debug1: expecting SSH2_MSG_KEX_DH_GEX_REPLY debug1: Host 'qar50s1' is known and matches the RSA host key. debug1: Found key in /home/mberney/.ssh/known_hosts:85 debug1: ssh_rsa_verify: signature correct debug1: SSH2_MSG_NEWKEYS sent debug1: expecting SSH2_MSG_NEWKEYS debug1: SSH2_MSG_NEWKEYS received debug1: SSH2_MSG_SERVICE_REQUEST sent debug1: SSH2_MSG_SERVICE_ACCEPT received debug1: Authentications that can continue: publickey,password,keyboard-interactive debug1: Next authentication method: publickey debug1: Trying private key: /home/mberney/.ssh/identity debug1: Trying private key: /home/mberney/.ssh/id_rsa debug1: Offering public key: /home/mberney/.ssh/id_dsa debug1: Authentications that can continue: publickey,password,keyboard-interactive debug1: Next authentication method: keyboard-interactive debug1: Authentications that can continue: publickey,password,keyboard-interactive debug1: Next authentication method: password [EMAIL PROTECTED]'s password: -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
