[Bug 669338] Re: ssh autologin fails to work

[Clint Byrum]

Sorry enb, I typed a fairly lengthy comment and hit submit, but I think
I may have closed my browser before it was sent.

First off, the file must be ~/.ssh/authorized_keys. Second, the
permissions on ~/.ssh and ~/.ssh/authorized_keys must be secure enough
so that other users cannot see the contents, or sshd will complain.

Try

ls -ld ~/.ssh

and

ls -l ~/.ssh/authorized_keys

and make sure that other users cannot read or access them.

If the permissions are correct, then you may want to look in
/var/log/auth.log on the systems where this fails for any error messages
stating why.

If there are no errors in auth.log and your permissions seem correct,
then you can try

ssh -v [ whatever other options you want ]

And paste or upload that as a text file here.

So, marking Incomplete (again) pending response from enb.

Also please do not Confirm your own bug reports. See
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Status for information on when marking a
bug as Confirmed is appropriate.
