i have a small problem with a ssh authentification, hope i misunderstood it, but.
i try to copy a file with scp from server to another and scp doesn't ask me for a password. problem, i don't setup any key on this box ... here the details: soekris4801:touche$ ls ~/.ssh authorized_keys known_hosts soekris4801:touche$ touch test soekris4801:touche$ scp test [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/tmp/ test 100% 0 0.0KB/s 00:00 if debug: 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(1024<1024<8192) 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 'file' is known and matches the RSA host key. debug1: Found key in /home/touche/.ssh/known_hosts:1 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: Offering public key: rsa-key-xxx debug1: Server accepts key: pkalg ssh-rsa blen 148 debug1: Authentication succeeded (publickey). the key (rsa-key-xxx) exist but, as seen before, not on soekris4801 (no id_(dsa|rsa)) public key is not in authorized_keys (that's another) known_hosts if for hosts keys so ... how can it offer this public key ??? thanks Regards Julien
