Dropbear with authentication keys

[Jean-Matthieu DECHRISTÉ]

Hi,

I'm trying to connect ssh client to the DNS-323 with ssh authentication keys.

I've read that Alt-F use dropbear as ssh server.

- So I created a private key for dropbear :

dropbearkey -t rsa -f ~/.ssh/id_rsa.db

- I saved the public key,

- Then I converted it (private key) for my client in OpenSSH format :

dropbearconvert dropbear openssh ~/.ssh/id_rsa.db ~/.ssh/id_rsa

- I stored the public key into /etc/dropbear/authorizated_keys,

- set the right "0600" on the "dropbear" folder, "0700" on the "authorizated_keys" file.

For test purposes, I also copied the "authorizated_keys" file into the "/home/myuser/.shh/authorizated_keys" file

The client seems to send the key (ssh --vv) but it doesn't work (the server always respond that it will accept keys and password, so the client assume that the key file isn't good).

The system logs doesn't help me. It doesn't mention the key file...

Is it possible to connect with a key file ?

Thanks,

JMD

I just copied my (old) ssh rsa public key to the box and it worked:

scp ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub dns-323:.ssh/authorized_keys

jcard@dns-323's password:

and  I could immediately login the box without supplying a password.

 

Thanks,

JMD
