Ok, I have done a lot of reading , and this *should* work, but it isn't.
Here is the situation: I am trying to use publickey authentication with SSH to access a Linux box on my private network. I have set this up elsewhere before and gotten it to work. Here, for some reason, it isn't.
Local permissions:
~/.ssh/ 700
id_rsa 600
id_rsa.pub 644
Remote permissions:
~/.ssh/ 700
authorized_keys 644
Of course, authorized keys contains the contents of the id_rsa.pub file
So, presuming all of that is correct, here is what happens when I try to connect:
Code:
$ ssh -v jeff@jupiter

jeff@jupiter's password:
As you can see, the session gives up on the publickey and goes for the password.
I'm not sure what the problem is. It looks like here:
Code:
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
there may be an issue, since what it was sent and what it expected were different. Otherwise, I have no idea what the problem could be. If anyone could shed some light on this it would really be appreciated.
Thanks in advance
