The sunbox ssh_config has a few lines uncommented: GSSAPIAuthentication yes
#Free graphical ssh client mac os x mac os x
Is this some kind of undocumented Mac OS X user friendliness thing? Or is it a setting in ssh_config? The macbox has everything commented out in ssh_config.
#Free graphical ssh client mac os x password
Unlike the ssh client on macbox, sunbox's ssh client asks me for the password every time I ssh to linuxbox. Then I typed "exit", then tried to ssh back in to linuxbox and was again asked for the password. I supplied the password, and got in to the shell on linuxbox.
Sunbox asked for the public key password via the shell (since I don't use a GUI/X11 environment there). Then I went to the sunbox, tried an ssh to linuxbox. Next, I typed "exit", then ssh-ed back in to linuxbox a second time, but this time Terminal.app did not ask for a password. I clicked OK and got in to a shell on linux box. I did NOT check the box offering to remember the password in my Mac's Keychain.app program. I entered the password which I'd given to the ssh-keygen program when I generated those keys. Suddenly, I was looking at GUI password prompt, launched by Terminal, but not in the terminal, and it wanted the password for the key pair I'd generated. Next, I copied the contents of the "id_dsa.pub" (from both macbox and sunbox) to the ~/.ssh/authorized_keys file on linuxbox.įrom macbox, using the built-in Terminal.app program, I tried ssh-ing to linuxbox. Then, on macbox and on sunbox, I did this: ssh-keygen -v -t dsaĪnd on both of them, when prompted by ssh-keygen, I supplied a password for the key pair it was generating. I understood that to mean that linuxbox won't allow host based authentication with public keys which don't have a password set for that key. I took the advice and didn't change the setting about empty passwords. # To enable empty passwords, change to yes (NOT RECOMMENDED)
On linuxbox, I set up sshd_config to allow this: HostbasedAuthentication yes I wanted to set up things so that macbox and sunbox could ssh in to linuxbox using just ssh keys, no passwords. "linuxbox" Ubuntu running OpenSSH_5.8p1 sshd serverĪll three hosts have a user by the same name."sunbox" Solaris 10 OpenSSH_3.9p1 ssh client."macbox" OS X using OpenSSH_5.2p1 ssh client.I'm confused by the difference in behavior of ssh clients I'm seeing on two different hosts.
