<pre class="k9mail">It's been a while, but I think PuTTY uses different
keys than<br />ssh-keygen style. You probably have to run them thru
PuTTY's keytool<br />thing.<br /><br /><br />On 5/10/15, Steve VanSlyck

tell me what super basic thing I've done wrong?<br /><br /> What I
did:<br /><br /> *As root*:<br /><br /> Add user "name"<br />
/usr/sbin/adduser name<br /> Create password<br /> passwd name<br
/> [created the password]<br /> Give root permissions<br />
sudo nano /etc/sudoers<br /> [added the line name
ALL=(All) ALL<br /> Re-enabled password authentication in sshd_config
and restarted sshd<br /><br /> *As the new user "name"*:<br /><br />
made directory<br /> mkdir ./ssh<br /> created file and added
public key to file authorized keys<br /> sudo nano
~/.ssh/authorized_keys<br /> [entered the public key (which I
call a "lock")]<br /> updated permissions "just in
case"<br /> chmod 700 ~/.ssh<br /> chmod 600 ~/.ssh/authorized_keys<br /><br /> tried to login with the private key<br /> Result: server refused the key.<br /><br /> Any idea what I'm doing wrong?<br /><br /><hr /><br /> colug-432 mailing list<br /> colug-432@colug.net<br /> <a href="http://lists.colug.net/mailman/listinfo/colug-432">http://lists.colug.net/mailman/listinfo/colug-432</a></blockquote><br /><br /><br /><br /><hr /><br /><br /><hr /><br />colug-432 mailing list<br />colug-432@colug.net<br /><a href="http://lists.colug.net/mailman/listinfo/colug-432">http://lists.colug.net/mailman/listinfo/colug-432</a><br /></blockquote><br /></blockquote><hr /><br />colug-432 mailing list<br />colug-432@colug.net<br /><a href="http://lists.colug.net/mailman/listinfo/colug-432">http://lists.colug.net/mailman/listinfo/colug-432</a><br /></pre></blockquote></div></body></html>
