Can anyone help me debug an ssh key-based authentication problem?
I have an 8.1-R server running sshd, with one user account. On the server, I've
used ssh-keygen to generate id_rsa and id_rsa.pub.
On my laptop I then pulled the id_rsa.pub file over and:
% cat id_rsa.pub>> .ssh/authorized_keys
Either I'm having reading comprehension problems, or you've got things
backwards. If you're trying to login into the server across the
network, the id_rsa.pub file goes into .ssh/authorized_keys file on the
server, and the id_rsa file lives on your laptop, all nicely secured
with a passphrase in case somebody steals your laptop.
