Putty - Login - ASL - SSH authorization_key problem

benji · Unread post by **benji** » Thu Dec 06, 2007 9:44 am

After installing ASL, i was asked to change some config on SSH daemon to make my system more secure, but the problem is that is so secure that i cannot login thru ssh anymore. I have to use my DRAC (Dell) card to login to my system via TTY.

Ok, my ASL configuration for SSH is:

SSH_PROTOCOL="2"
SSH_STRICTMODE="yes"
SSH_IGNORE_HOSTS="yes"
SSH_PUBLIC_KEY="yes"
SSH_ROOT_LOGINS="no"
SSH_PASSWORD_AUTH="no"
SSH_PRIV_SEPARATION="yes"
SSH_GSSAPI_AUTH="no"
SSH_GSSAPI_CLEANUP="no"

also my admin users are:

ADMIN_USERS='benji'

But, when i try to access my server thru SSH (putty), it connects perfect and asks mes my login:

login:

i put benji, then hit intro, and connection closes without letting me put password.

I readed some stuff abt generating authorization keys, i generated one by loging in thru tty with user benji and giving the command:
ssh-keygen -t rsa

But still not able to login thru putty from my system at the office.

Any tutorials or ideas?

Thanks

The putty docs are pretty good: http://the.earth.li/~sgtatham/putty/0.6 ... tml#pubkey

Some day I'll get an audio track on those... put the whole thing to rock music. I've already got the soundtrack for the ASL tutorial in mind... "Look at the Mess We Made" by the Methadones.
