FC9 Passwordless SSH login

[uukkhh]

Hi there,

I have two computers (A and B), both running FC9. Now I need to enable them to ssh login each other without inputting password.

The procedures instructed by the following links has been done:
SSH login without password

It is very weird that A can login B but B cannot do the same thing to A - every time, it asks password. And B can passwordless ssh other machines.

Can anybody help me with that? thanks a lot.

Wrong permissions is a common problem. On server A make sure directory .ssh and everything in it is owned by the user. Then make sure:

Directory .ssh has permissions 700.
All files in .ssh have permissions 600

If that doesn't fix it, then use the -v option with the ssh command to see if it provides any usefel information.

Make sure A's .ssh/authorized_keys has the public key of B, .ssh/id_rsa.pub, and has permissions 600.
Make sure B's .ssh/authorized_keys has the public key of A, .ssh/id_rsa.pub, and has permissions 600.

All should work fine.
