Hello,
I need to set up password-less ssh authentication in order to run parallel calculations in several nodes.
I have done this in the past with Hardy, just by following this how-to:
http://www.debian-administration.org/articles/152
However, for these instructions to work in Hardy I needed to uninstall the lsh packages and install the openssh packages.
In a different server running Intrepid nothing works. I have verified that /etc/ssh/sshd_config contain the lines:
RSAAuthentication yes
PubkeyAuthentication yes
I have changed the permissions of the .ssh directory and the authorized_keys files. I have created both DSA and RSA keys (each of them independently and both at the same time). I have created authorized_keys and authorized_keys2 files. I have played with the option
AuthorizedKeysFile %h/.ssh/authorized_keys
in /etc/ssh/sshd_config
I have tried all possible combinations of installing and uninstalling openssh and lsh.
Nothing works and I do not know what else could I possibly do.
Could anyone please help me to diagnose the problem?
Kind regards,
Miro
