Thank you for the quick response, Henning. 2016-12-08 1:07 GMT+09:00 Henning Follmann <hfollm...@itcfollmann.com>: > Please revert to your original configs. Key login works be default and > requires no change.
By reverting to my original configs : PasswordAuthentication yes I was able to ssh. $ ssh -p 9999 testac@192.168.0.5 testac@192.168.0.5's password: Last login: Thu Dec 8 10:56:31 2016 from 192.168.0.3 > > first generate a key: > ssh-keygen > > By default it creats both id_rsa and id_rsa.pub in your ~/.ssh directory. > id_rsa contains the private key and it should remain on the client machine > in your ~/.ssh directory.

I'll try further and am consulting http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/36540/why-am-i-still-getting-a-password-prompt-with-ssh-with-public-key-authentication and so on. $ ls -ls /home/testac/.ssh total 12 4 -rwx------ 1 u1 u1 776 Dec 8 11:05 authorized_keys 4 -rw-r--r-- 1 u1 u1 388 Dec 6 11:57 id_rsa_test.pub 4 -rwx------ 1 u1 u1 444 Dec 6 20:46 known_hosts Cheers, EenyMeenyMinyMoa
