Warning: Identity file ~/.ssh/id_rsa not accessible: No such file or directory

[sarangzigi]

I install rwsync server on xp, and on fedora tried to ssh as follows;

1) on fedora
ssh-keygen -P "" -f ~/.ssh/id_rsa

chmod 700 ~/.ssh
chmod 600 ~/.ssh/id_rsa

ftp id_rsa.pub to xp

2) on xp

append id_rsa.pub to /cwRsyncServer/var/SvcwRsync/.ssh/
authorized_keys2

3) and on fedora

ssh -i ~/.ssh/id_rsa i...@192.168.0.3

then I got this error message.

"Warning: Identity file ~/.ssh/id_rsa not accessible: No such file or
directory."

Why do I get this error mesage?

"Warning: Identity file ~/.ssh/id_rsa not accessible: No such file or
directory."

Is there errors on sshd_config?

Did you check the permissions on /etc/ssh_host_rsa_key
/etc/ssh_host_dsa_key ?? Or if they exists.

I think it is stange in your config to find both :

HostKey /etc/ssh/ssh_host_rsa_key
HostKey /etc/ssh/ssh_host_dsa_key

And

HostKey /etc/ssh_host_rsa_key
HostKey /etc/ssh_host_dsa_key

You can eventually check also /etc/ssh/ssh_config which is the config
file of ssh client. May be you can find some clue about the connection
problem. It may also exist a log of the ssh client... but do not know where.

Hey, how did you fix this? what permissions did you give to id_rsa? I am getting the same issue.

[William Unruh]

You have to make sure that your home directory is not group or other
writeable, and the .ssh directory is not readable writeable or executable by
either group or other and is owned by you. And id_rsa is rw only by user.

drwx------ 2 unruh unruh 4096 Feb 1 19:25 .
drwxr-xr-x 191 unruh unruh 389120 Jul 10 21:18 ..
-rw------- 1 unruh unruh 1675 May 6 2009 id_rsa

Thanks William!

What command do I need to run to make ./ssh/id_rsa accessible, I have been on it for days

[William Unruh]

What are the permissions on your files (ls -la .ssh)
Your .ssh drectory should be accessible only by you, your home directory
should be not writeable by anyone but you, and id_rsa should be read/writeable
only by you.

The command to change thing is chmod.

You don't. You send it to the targets you want to log into using the
command ssh-copy-id. crude example:

ssh-copy-id -i ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub $LOG...@target.node

[Richard Kettlewell]

You are responding to a posting from 2007. They are probably not reading
any more.

You cannot fix ‘no such file or directory’ with permission settings. If
the file doens’t exist then you need to create it.

NO! emmat0616 is talking about the PRIVATE key, no .pub suffix, which
you DONT send ANYWHERE.
