Full Discussion: ssh keys - no password prompt from AIX to RPA
Operating Systems AIX ssh keys - no password prompt from AIX to RPA Post 302582691 by ross.mather on Saturday 17th of December 2011 03:59:06 AM

Most common cause of this is the file permissions on a users home directory, debugging usisng the -v flag for the ssh command will help as will running the sshd in the foreground.

To run sshd with -v in the foreground (path of sshd may be different dependent on version installed)
Code:
stopsrc -s sshd
/usr/sbin/sshd -v

You can then test the login. Do be careful to leave your other session logged in as you will need to restart the sshd after you've tested.

NAME

SYNOPSIS

       /usr/lib/ssh/sftp-server

DESCRIPTION

       sftp-server implements the server side of the SSH File Transfer Protocol as defined in the IETF draft-ietf-secsh-filexfer.

       sftp-server is a subsystem for sshd(1M) and must not be run directly. There are no options or config settings.

       To enable the sftp-server subsystem for sshd add the following to /etc/ssh/sshd_config:

       Subsystem   sftp     /usr/lib/ssh/sftp-server

       See sshd_config(4) for a description of the format and contents of that file.

       There is no relationship between the protocol used by sftp-server and the FTP protocol (RFC 959) provided by in.ftpd.

EXIT STATUS

       The following exit values are returned:

       0        Successful completion.
