[PLUG] ssh passwordless login

[Daniel Herrington]

All,

I have permissions set to 600 on id_rsa.pub. I hvae explicitly set
IdentityFile in config, so it's using id_rsa.pub. I have removed id_rsa.
Also, I should mention that .ssh is in the home directory on an NFS mount.

However I suspect that it is something with what the server returns to
client in regards to the hostname.

So here is the setup:

source: serverA
target: severB (public internet alias: publicserverB.com)

ssh command: ssh foo at publicserverB.com

my firewall redirects anything hititng port 22 on publicserverB.com to
serverB. I think I may not have this configured correctly. In my
~.ssh/config file I do have HostKeyAlias set to serverB. However, is there
a way to figure out what host sshd is comparing or looking for?

Here is the log from the serverB sshd server (auth.log):
Oct 21 12:30:24 XXX sshd[29836]: Connection from XX.XXX.XXX.X port 38057
Oct 21 12:30:43 XXX sshd[29836]: Failed publickey for dan from
XX.XXX.XXX.XXX port 38057 ssh2

Can I increase logging in sshd above VERBOSE?
