RSA Key Auth. For Connecting To Root Is Not Working.

Hey Guys!

Using RHEL v5.7, I am trying to make a connection between two servers with rsa key auth. I need to connect directly to the root as it's privileges are needed for changing password. RSA key is working for normal users but I cannot connect to root. I changed the sshd_config file as

PermitRootLogin without-password
RSAAuthentication yes
PubkeyAuthentication yes

and restart it (on both sides). Files permissions are below:

(Sender server=> /root/.ssh directory's permission is 700)

-rw------- 1 root root 1675 May 25 15:14 id_rsa
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 392 May 25 15:14 id_rsa.pub
-rw------- 1 root root 2743 May 21 09:13 known_hosts
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1177 Mar 30 09:38 known_hosts.old

(Remote server to connect)

-rw------- 1 root root 392 Apr 20 15:35 authorized_keys
-rw------- 1 root root 668 Mar 30 10:08 id_dsa
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 601 Mar 30 10:08 id_dsa.pub
-rw------- 1 root root 1675 Apr 28 11:09 id_rsa
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 393 Apr 14 14:40 id_rsa.pub
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1178 Apr 28 08:58 known_hosts

Also I provide the verbose output when I run the ssh connection:

Where is the problem ? I do not want to be asked password for root during rsa connection. That's why I am using without-password mode for PermitRootLogin. Thanks for your helps!

Why It's Slow To Ssh Connect To A Ubuntu On A Virtualbox VM

Need Help With SSHD

I have been asked to setup an SFTP which uses RSA public key authentication.

AS it was already in use I have opted to use CygWin and I can get it to work with passwords fine.

we are going to be hosting the SFTP server with users from the clients office connecting to it. The client has sent me their public key.

Having done LOts of reading and even more attempting to configure the server I just cant get it to work. Most of thetime I get..
ebug1: Host '127.0.0.1' is known and matches the ECDSA host key.
debug1: Found key in /home/ColoniAdmin/.ssh/known_hosts:1

debug1: Next authentication method: keyboard-interactive
debug1: Authentications that can continue: publickey,keyboard-interactive
debug1: No more authentication methods to try.
Permission denied (publickey,keyboard-interactive).

I have once managed to get it to the point of asking for a passphrase for the private key but I don't have a private key (that I know of) just the public key the client sent us. and I certainly don't want to have to use passphrases

Their public key is in the authorized_key file on our server within the .ssh folder of their home folder. I have amended paswd and sshd_config to set home location and to allow RSA authentication.

All and any advice is super welcome, I have been doing this for 2 weeks now and i just wont work.

HELP HELP HELP!!!!!! ;-)
Thanks

Slackware 14.0 - End User Changing Password Failed

Hi all,

I am slackware 14.0 user. Recently I face one problem. As a root i can change one of my normal user's (assuming Peter) password. However, when I login as Peter, and try to change the password, the system does not allow me to renew my password.

Old password:
Incorrect password for peter.
The password for peter is unchanged.

One thing I can assure is the password I input is correct. I have another slackware 14 running on Dell R410, but it does not has this problem.


Please kindly advice. Thank you.

Help On Rndc. Want To Control Remote Bind Server, But Cant....

Hi All,

Please help me. I'm following the book - ' DNS and BIND, 5th Ed By Paul Albitz, Cricket Liu '. This RNDC is driving me crazy. I spent all day trying to configure rndc. Tried every possible combination in config files, but I just cant control remote server. Tried many tutorials from google, nothing helped. LQ is my last hope.

So, my story goes like this...

Cannot Get Root To Work

I have been getting permission denied issues when trying to log into as root. I have set my password and when I type su - root and enter in my password I keep getting either password incorrect when I know I am typing it in correctly or acess permission denied from su. Can anyone explain what I am doing wrong. I am trying to get into /etc/passwd for homework assignment and I get permission denied when logged in as my user. Any help will be great. I have in the past been able to logg in to root but now I cant seem to get into it. This is a new install of ubuntu 14

Added 'exit 0' To The Bottom Of .bashrc, Now What?

Centos 6.5

I ran into an interesting problem (on reddit) that I figured I could solve, but I have not been able to. Its simple,.. I added 'exit 0' to /root/.bashrc, and now I am trying to log in via ssh.

Everytime I do, it immediately exits when it runs the .bash_profile, which sources .bashrc, (which is immediate upon 'logging in')

I've tried:

Code:
ssh root@192.168.1.50 -t vim
vim scp://192.168.1.50/.bashrc
vim scp://192.168.1.50/root/.bashrc
ssh root@192.168.1.50 bash --norc
ssh root@192.168.1.50 /bin/bash --norc --noprofile
ssh -T root@192.168.1.50 "mv /root/.bashrc /root/.bashRC"
scp .bashrc root@192.168.1.50:/root/
ssh root@192.168.1.50 /bin/bash --norc --noprofile -vvvvvvvvvv
ssh -vvvvvv root@192.168.1.50 /bin/bash --norc --noprofile
ssh -vvvvvv root@192.168.1.50 /bin/mv /root/.bashrc /root/.bashRC
ssh -t -t root@192.168.1.50 << EOF
mv /root/.bashrc /root/.bashRC
EOF
ssh -t -t root@192.168.1.50 --norc << EOF
echo HELLO > /root/.bashrc
EOF
ssh -tv root@192.168.1.50 rm .bashrc

So,.. I am unable to get back into the system (as root, no other users exist) after adding 'exit 0' to .bashrc

Anyone feel like explaining why all of these failed (aside from saying SSH interactive logins run the .bash_profile/.bashrc files) or, offering a suggestion that works? Seems like if you have the root password, you should be allowed to modify the login process... since... you know... you are root.

New Password Not Working In Software Centre.

Hi, I forgot my password so went into root to change it.

From grub menu, Ubuntu : advanced options : ubuntu recovery : network : root

input passwd then typed in a new password and re-entered password. rebooted.

Tried to uninstall Firefox from software centre but the new password was not accepted for authentication.

Could anyone advise what the problem could be or suggest what I may have done wrong. The password appeared to be accepted ok in root. Thanks
