Authentication timeout. Retrying and then Failure

[Ryan Ruscett]

Hello,

I looked on this site and saw several responses to issue like this. Except I still can't get it. Here is what I did. 

1. Got a box from Hashicorp, everything worked perfectly. No issues. I added some software to it and then used package to create a box. 

2. Now, when I do a vagrant init <my box> and it starts to spin up.

3. I get the error

default: SSH auth method: private key

    default: Warning: Connection timeout. Retrying...

    default: Warning: Authentication failure. Retrying...

    default: Warning: Authentication failure. Retrying...

    default: Warning: Authentication failure. Retrying...

What I can do!

1. I can still log into the box with vagrant ssh. I just prompts me for a password. 

Because it's failing at this point it just holds here until I ctrl c it and thus, the synced folders and other set up never occurs.

What I have tried to fix it. 

1. When into ssh_config and set prompt for password to no. Didn't work.

2. I saw there was no authorized_key so I got the git up one and put it in there. Didn't work. 

3. I configured vagrant in sudo with no password. I am stretching now but didn't work lol

4. I checked all the permissions on the .ssh and vagrant folders according to previous threads.

Here is what gets me. I got the box from hashicorp website and it worked perfectly. This isn't a box from scratch. So I would of assumed it would have had everything I needed in order for it to work. All I did was just create a box out of it and tried to use it. I get this error and I have no idea what to do next.

Any help would be great. Thanks!

Hello

Since Vagrant 1.7, Vagrant will replace the insecure ssh keys, so try this.

On the very first box:
config.ssh.insert_key = false

This will prevent Vagrant replacing the keys.

Then before packaging, check:

eth0 nic on the OS is configured to DHCP
there is no /etc/udev/rules/70-persistent-net.rule or similar file. If
there is delete.

Then poweroff and export the box.

Try with a simple box before doing all your changes, just to test the
process works.

Alvaro.
