Below I have checked all of those i'm not sure if the owner is necessarily ok but the rest seems definitely ok. harvey@samsung350 /var $ ls -l /var/log/sshd.log -rw-r--r-- 1 SYSTEM root 4489 May 13 03:41 /var/log/sshd.log So it hasn't been written to recently harvey@samsung350 /var $ tail -n 1 /var/log/sshd.log /var/empty must be owned by root and not group or world-writable. ok that's an old error harvey@samsung350 /var $ ls -ld /var/empty drwxr-xr-x+ 1 SYSTEM root 0 Aug 29 2014 /var/empty permissions are fine I guess. I'm not sure if owner should say root. Permissions for ~/.ssh and its contents is absolutely correct. I have no ~/.ssh/authorized_keys file though that's ok not to have that. harvey@samsung350 /var $ ls -ld ~/.ssh drwx------+ 1 harvey None 0 Jun 7 01:38 /home/harvey/.ssh harvey@samsung350 /var $ ls -l ~/.ssh total 19 -rw------- 1 harvey None 1679 Aug 29 2014 id_rsa -rw------- 1 harvey None 399 Aug 29 2014 id_rsa.pub -rw------- 1 harvey None 1679 Sep 4 2014 id2_rsa -rw-r--r-- 1 harvey None 870 Jun 6 23:07 known_hosts -rw-r--r-- 1 harvey None 361 Sep 5 2014 known_hosts.bak -rw-r--r-- 1 harvey None 867 Sep 8 2014 known_hostsb -rw-r--r-- 1 harvey None 38 May 21 06:47 oldconfig harvey@samsung350 /var $ I guess my server keys permissions are ok.
