ssh open key authentication on debian

Postby Spy » Fri Mar 17, 2006 4:01 pm

Hello.
So, I have tried to set up a non-passworded login to my shell on debian via ssh. I did everything as it is said in the manual pages for ssh and ssh-keygen but the server still asks me about my password.
Is it possible/allowed to use this feature? If it is, please, guide me through it.
(I use Debian Sarge r0 at home)

Regards,
Spy

Are you sure your SSH client is configured correctly?
There are 10 types of people in this world, those who understand binary and those who don't.

After transferring your key to the remote host (and the host key to you), your configuration of the client is client-specific, and involves telling it which authentication options to attempt; tell it to use the rsa or dsa key, and to not use password.
