I had set up my home network with password-free ssh access between various Mac computers. But when I recently upgraded to OS X Mountain Lion, this stopped working.
Turns out
Once I had renamed
Turns out
/etc/sshd_config is modified during Mountain Lion installation. The following line gets unchecked:
# The default is to check both .ssh/authorized_keys and .ssh/authorized_keys2
# but this is overridden so installations will only check .ssh/authorized_keys
AuthorizedKeysFile .ssh/authorized_keys
Once I had renamed
~/.ssh/authorized_keys2 to ~/.ssh/authorized_keys on my Mountain Lion computers, everything worked fine again.
This took me days to figure out.. thanks for confirming that something on 10.8 had changed!!
ReplyDeleteI've linked & resposted.. again may thanks
ReplyDeleteThanks!
ReplyDeleteMy Mountain Lion 10.8.2 does not have a ~/.ssh/authorized_keys at all. It does have the known_hosts file.
ReplyDeleteIn the /etc/sshd_config file, rsa appears to be commented out, but in the ~/.ssh directory there is id_rsa and id_rsa.pub.
In the known_hosts file there are lots of keys that have ssh-rsa following the ip address.
What do I put in the authorized_keys file or how do I create it?
Hi,
ReplyDeleteYou should copy the contents of the ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub file on the computer you want to connect FROM, and paste into ~/.ssh/authorized_keys on the computer you want to connect TO.
You can create ~/.ssh/authorized_keys if it doesn't already exist.
Cheers,
