HP-UX

When we

Code:

ssh -i private key user@ip

we get the password prompt. The sending servers public key is in the receiving server. We have blown away the known_hosts file on the sending server and restarted the ssh connection. We don't know what else to do. Any other suggestions?

This sounds like ssh1. Or you think it is. What does

Code:

ssh -V

show -- when executed on both the local and remote side ?

is not running ssh server on remote or ssh connection is not working that you wanted?

When we run ssh -v it looks like it gets a connection then when it goes into autentication mode it asks for public key and the authentication method disables and goes through keyboard-interactive authentication mode then onto password authentication mode where it finally asks for a password to connect. I don't understand why the public key authentication mode is not working. We recently made some updates to the server. I believe the problem lies on the remote server as the home server can connect to other servers with no problem. What are some files I could check to see if they may have gotten corrupted or lost?

Code:

 
# chmod 700 ~/.ssh
# chmod 600 ~/.ssh/authorized_keys
# service sshd restart

and try again

Permissions are set and restarted sshd. Still having the same problem. Does NFS have anything to do with issue because NFS is started on the machines that work but not started on the machine that does not work? Just throwing things out there. Keep suggestions coming please.

Look in the syslog on the server.

/usr/adm/syslog/syslog.log
