Hello everybody, could somebody please give me some clue, why I can't login into a passwordless account.
This is what my /etc/ssh/sshd_config file looks like: # This is ssh server systemwide configuration file. # # Modified: # - 16.01.2001: PermitEmptyPassword yes, PermitRootLogin yes # - 05.02.2001: Completely rewritten # Connection Stuff Port 22 ListenAddress 0.0.0.0 # Security stuff # AllowUsers root viktor HostKey /etc/ssh/ssh_host_key IgnoreRhosts yes IgnoreUserKnownHosts no # KerberosAuthentication no # KerberosOrLocalPasswd no # KerberosTgtPassing no # KerberosTicketCleanup no KeyRegenerationInterval 3600 LoginGraceTime 600 PasswordAuthentication yes PermitEmptyPasswords yes PermitRootLogin yes RhostsAuthentication no RhostsRSAAuthentication no RSAAuthentication yes ServerKeyBits 768 StrictModes yes # Misc stuff # AFSTokenPassing no CheckMail no LogLevel INFO PrintMotd no # PrintLastLogin yes SyslogFacility AUTH UseLogin no X11Forwarding yes This is the output I get when trying to log into a passwordless user account (viktor): # /etc/init/ssh restart # ssh -l viktor bart -v SSH Version OpenSSH-1.2.3, protocol version 1.5. Compiled with SSL. debug: Reading configuration data /home/viktor/.ssh/config debug: Applying options for bart debug: Applying options for * debug: Reading configuration data /etc/ssh/ssh_config debug: Applying options for * debug: ssh_connect: getuid 1000 geteuid 1000 anon 1 debug: Connecting to bart [192.168.0.2] port 22. debug: Connection established. debug: Remote protocol version 1.5, remote software version OpenSSH-1.2.3 debug: Waiting for server public key. debug: Received server public key (768 bits) and host key (1024 bits). debug: Host 'bart' is known and matches the host key. debug: Encryption type: 3des debug: Sent encrypted session key. debug: Installing crc compensation attack detector. debug: Received encrypted confirmation. debug: RSA authentication using agent refused. debug: Doing password authentication. [EMAIL PROTECTED]'s password: Huh?! I tried the config file of an old slink machine where this works great to no avail. Won't log me in! Also note, that I have uncommented the Kerberos* and AFS* and PrintLastLogin configuration options, because sshd would complain about them. They are listed in the man page though. Am I missing some spelling mistake or what is going on? Oh yeah, this is on a fairly recent woody system (last dist-upgrade was two weeks ago).
