I have a couple of Ubuntu 18.04 computers at home. Since using them more for work recently I decided to set up ssh on the so I could do remover administration.
I installed openssh-server on both one works fine, the other initially worked but now doesn't prompt for a password when I try to access it and eventually times out. I can't find anything in the logs to give me a clue as to why.
I've never had this problem before openssh-server has simply just worked.
I've compared the configuration files and as afar as I can tell they are the defaults loaded when I installed the server.
The one significant difference between the tow is that one is on the WiFi network and the other is one a wired network.
OK I found this in syslog:
Code:
syslog:May 17 15:49:55 apartment systemd[1290]: Closed GnuPG cryptographic agent (ssh-agent emulation).
syslog:May 17 15:49:55 <machinename> systemd[1464]: Listening on GnuPG cryptographic agent (ssh-agent emulation).
syslog:May 17 15:49:57 <machinename> gnome-keyring-ssh.desktop[1547]: SSH_AUTH_SOCK=/run/user/1001/keyring/ssh
user 1001 is a different user than the user I'm attempting to login in as
A successful login to the other machine only lists the following:
Code:
May 17 11:09:53 <machinename> systemd[1514]: Closed GnuPG cryptographic agent (ssh-agent emulation).
May 17 11:09:54 <machinename> systemd[1708]: Listening on GnuPG cryptographic agent (ssh-agent emulation).
