ssh-keygen

I'm trying to setup ssh login without password, but unable to ssh localhost without being prompted for password. I followed the following steps

1) ssh-keygen -t dsa

2) cat id_dsa.pub >> authorized_keys

But when i tried to ssh localhost, I was prompted for a password. The system is a Sun Fire V4440, Solairs 9.

thanks,

joe

If you were user root at the time then you also need to edit /etc/ssh/sshd_configand change the value of PermitRootLogin.Then restart sshd

The permission of the file authorized_keys should be 0700.

Check this.

Also check your sshd config,

I.e in /etc/ssh/sshd_config

PubkeyAuthentication yes

should be uncommented......

Still a problem, lauch ssh with verbose ie

#ssh localhost -vv

and post the output here......
