Comment on Generate a ssh key and disable password authentication on Ubuntu server by yuvilio

I had to take two extra permission steps on the machine i was sshing into to make it work due to this error: “SSH Error: Permission denied (publickey,gssapi-with-mic)” . Not sure if they’re relevant but here are the steps that did the trick.

chmod 600 .ssh/authorized_keys
chmod 700 .ssh

After that, my sshing without password worked great.

Thanks for the great tutorial!

Thank you Paul for the heads up. I can see how that could be an issue. And you probably wouldn’t want auto login if you have such sensitive information that you would like to encrypt it. I also think, when you mention this, that the auto login isn’t possible in the installer together with the encryption option.

If you have configured your system use the encryption of home directories, GNOME will not start
properly with an auto-login. I have not confirmed this, but it seems that the password is required
to decrypt the home directory. Since no password is specified in the gdm config file, the home
directory is not decrypted and GNOME complains bitterly. I do not know what the solution is at
this time, or even if there is one. Sorry.

Comment on Generate a ssh key and disable password authentication on Ubuntu server by akoel akoel — Sun, 11 Oct 2009 15:17:03 +0000 Thanks a lot. That was very helpful Comment on Make your DHCP server dynamically update your DNS records on Ubuntu Hardy Heron by Phil Phil — Sat, 05 Sep 2009 20:38:22 +0000 Thanks for the helpful writeup. I found this post on Ubutu forums on DHCP with Dynamic DNS . It looks like the same basic setup as your, except that post doesn’t deal with the AppArmor issue. One thing mentioned in that post is using ‘rndc freeze’ and ‘rndc unfreeze’ to allow you o edit the zone files without stopping bind. Thoughts?

I only needed to make the changes that I’ve described here for it to work. Have you checked that you have spelled your username correctly? Also remember that linux logins are case sensitive. I hope it works out for you. Regards, Lani Comment on GNOME Auto login in Ubuntu 9.10 Karmic Koala Alpha 3 by miki miki — Sun, 30 Aug 2009 14:23:01 +0000 Hi, Thanks for the tweak, it is great! Just one note. How do I tell the computer about the default’s password? It tries to load my default but returns ‘authentication failed’. My guess is I need to add a line w/the password somewhere but I don’t know where or how. Thanks!
