SSHD stopped working after I updated!
Applies to
SuSE Linux: Version 6.0
Symptom:
After updating to SuSE Linux 6.0 you are no longer able to access
your computer with ssh. You get the message Permission
denied.
Reason:
The default configuration of sshd was too insecure. In the case
of a failed RSA Authentication, the insecure password authentication
method would have been used. This is no longer the case.
Solution:
- Generate a private/public key pair on each system (source
and destination computer), by using the command
ssh-keygen
and following the directions.
- place the key
$HOME/.ssh/identity.pub
in the
$HOME/.ssh/authorized_keys
file on the remote
computer.
