#Mac hosts file not working high sierra password

ssh -v -v gives you even more information.execute ssh -v to see the key exchange details in verbose mode.ssh on OSX generated incompatible keys, sometimes public keys need to be converted.There are two distinct possibilities I see here sshd is accepting public keys (able to login via putty).

sshd is working (able to login with password).

I will do it tonight and find out.Īdditional question, if I have known_hosts on the Mac before generating SSH key pairs, would it be a problem? Do I have to delete it before generating the keys? Thank you.

I have not tried generate the key without passphrase yet.

Tried, not working from Mac, however, it works on Windows PC using PuTTY, since PuTTY GUI allow you to specify where the private key is. …and add to the end of the file: UsePAM no

Open the sshd configuration file for editing with: By the way, I restarted the sshd service before trying SSH again.Īfter the first attempt, then I started searching on google, found another tutorial saying that I need to do the following:

#Mac hosts file not working high sierra password

How do I know? I have edited the sshd_config file to disable password login, enable the authorized_keys file location and tried SSH again, I got permission denied. According to it, once the pub key has been copied over to RPi as authorized_keys, the RPi should automatically use it when I SSH to the RPi next time. I did follow the tutorial on the Raspberry Pi for setting up passwordless SSH step by step. Could anyone please help me the set it up? Thank you.ĭue to many people reported this question is unclear, let me clarify it by providing more details. I have been looking for tutorial online, could not find any proper one that make it work using Mac's terminal. However, on my Mac, it still asks for password when SSH to my Raspberry Pi. I followed the instruction on Raspberry Pi website to generate SSH key pairs, towards the end of tutorial, it says once I have copied the id_rsa.pub key to the Pi's authorized_keys, it should use my public key next time I SSH into the Pi.
