[ale] ssh issue

[Lightner, Jeffrey]

Also check the home directory of the target and source users.   It is OK for them to be 755 but not 775 (or 777).

Secure Shell requires the environment to be secure and I often see folks doing "chmod 777" on user homes and or $HOME/.ssh and wondering why it is failing to do ssh.

Check permissions on the .ssh subdirectory.  If they aren't correct, it will deny login with a key.

Mostly I'm tired and brain dead. I built some servers and put in the authorized-keys file. On one server it works well, the one I built manually. On the others it fails, it asks for the password. I've recopied in the key, checked the permissons, etc. Not seeing any real differences.

What are some more things I can look at in the AM? Have not really applied anything special to either box.

Thanks!

Leam
