First of all thanks a lot hergp for your help. I finally figured out what was happening.
Problem was that I didnt have the following keys enabled in the sshd_config file:
Besides that, since I didnt have
command I had to manually paste the key in ServerB. That made it interpret the key as 3 separate lines.
To solve this, in case you cant use ssh-copy-id. Paste the first line of your key WITHOUT the last 2 characters, then type yourself the missing characters from line 1 and the first one from line 2, this will prevent adding a "new line" between the first and second line of the key. Repeat with the 3d line
Hi all,
Basic Requirement:
To SFTP large files (usually 10GB). We use webMethods 6.1.2 (installed on Unix) as the orchstrator and make underlying Unix system calls to do the processing.
That is, if we have to SFTP a large file - webMethods will invoke a Perl script on the underlying Unix... (2 Replies)
Hello,
Do you guys know set of commands that can incorporate to sftp/scp/ssh to add password in a script to automate file transfer.
Our client is not using ssh keys authentication so we are force to create a script to pass the password into the script to transfer files via sftp/scp/ssh.
We... (4 Replies)
I setup the keys between 2 servers, but my user account has no password specified for it (never set one up on the account for security reasons). When I try to SSH to the server, SSH prompts for a password that doesn't exist (so I can never connect successfully).
Note: 'passwd -d Rynok' removes... (3 Replies)

Recently I have been playing with password ageing and the usage of ssh keys. I have found that if usePAM yes (default) is set in the /etc/ssh/sshd_config file then any password ageing and inactiivity can adversely affect a client with ssh keys.
For example:
Set PASS_MAX_DAYS to 60 in... (5 Replies)
Dear All,
I have a requirement where I have to SFTP or SCP a file in a batch script. Unfortunately, the destination server setup is such that it doesn't allow for shell command line login. So, I am not able to set up SSH keys. My source server is having issues with Expect. So, unable to use... (5 Replies)

ssh-keysign
SSH-KEYSIGN(8) BSD System Manager's Manual SSH-KEYSIGN(8)NAME
ssh-keysign -- ssh helper program for host-based authentication
SYNOPSIS
ssh-keysign
DESCRIPTION
ssh-keysign is used by ssh(1) to access the local host keys and generate the digital signature required during host-based authentication with
SSH protocol version 2.
ssh-keysign is disabled by default and can only be enabled in the global client configuration file /etc/ssh/ssh_config by setting
EnableSSHKeysign to ``yes''.
ssh-keysign is not intended to be invoked by the user, but from ssh(1). See ssh(1) and sshd(8) for more information about host-based authen-
tication.
FILES
/etc/ssh/ssh_config
Controls whether ssh-keysign is enabled.
/etc/ssh/ssh_host_dsa_key, /etc/ssh/ssh_host_rsa_key
These files contain the private parts of the host keys used to generate the digital signature. They should be owned by root, read-
able only by root, and not accessible to others. Since they are readable only by root, ssh-keysign must be set-uid root if host-
based authentication is used.
SEE ALSO ssh(1), ssh-keygen(1), ssh_config(5), sshd(8)HISTORY
ssh-keysign first appeared in OpenBSD 3.2.
