I am trying to connect to ssh2 server. I am able to connect via password, but I needed to setup ssh, so i created the ssh-keygen locally and copied it to server using command ssh-copy-id root@IP_ADDRESS, and double checked, its saved in folder ~/.ssh/authorized_keys.
I changed home and .ssh and authorized key permissions but nothing seems to help and server keeps asking for password.
chmod go-w ~/
chmod 700 ~/.ssh
chmod 600 ~/.ssh/authorized_keys
Also I have looked in /etc/ssh/sshd_config to make sure everything is ok. Following are configurations
RSAAuthentication yes
PubkeyAuthentication yes
AuthorizedKeysFile %h/.ssh/authorized_keys
I also restarted ssh-service everytime I made some change sudo systemctl restart ssh.service. This is getting really frustrating now. A simple setup is not working and taking me hours.
Root folder permissions
drwx------ 12 root root 20480 Apr 7 00:52 root
.ssh folder permissions
drwx------ 2 root root 4096 Apr 7 00:32 .ssh
authorized_keys permissions
-rw------- 1 root root 563 Apr 7 00:07 .ssh/authorized_keys
