SuSE-INTERN:

Symptom:

After updating to SuSE Linux 6.0 you are no longer able to access your computer with ssh. You get the message Permission denied.

Reason:

The default configuration of sshd was too insecure. In the case of a failed RSA Authentication, the insecure password authentication method would have been used. This is no longer the case.

Solution:

  1. Generate a private/public key pair on each system (source and destination computer), by using the command ssh-keygen and following the directions.
  2. place the key $HOME/.ssh/identity.pub in the $HOME/.ssh/authorized_keys file on the remote computer.
