Both of these files are symbolic links on my system: lrwxrwxrwx 1 allan users 9 Jan 14 21:29 id_dsa -> ../id_dsa lrwxrwxrwx 1 allan users 13 Jan 14 21:28 id_dsa.pub -> ../id_dsa.pub so it is a little confusing that it talks about the link yet looks at the permissions of the linked file. It complains about the private key yet the permissions in the above and the file name is the public key. Not sure there is any issues with the public key being readable by others. In any case the actual problem, I think, is that the public key should not be present in .ssh/login-keys.d. -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.34 (SMP w/2 CPU cores; PREEMPT) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages libpam-ssh depends on: ii libc6 2.11.1-2 Embedded GNU C Library: Shared lib ii libpam0g 1.1.1-3 Pluggable Authentication Modules l ii libssl0.9.8 0.9.8o-1 SSL shared libraries Versions of packages libpam-ssh recommends: ii openssh-client [ssh-client] 1:5.5p1-4 secure shell (SSH) client, for sec libpam-ssh suggests no packages. -- Configuration Files: /etc/pam.d/pam-ssh-auth changed: auth required pam_ssh.so -- no debconf information -- Allan Wind Life Integrity, LLC <http://lifeintegrity.com> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
