  • @Dan123TheStarman
    @Dan123TheStarman 2 роки тому

    Thank you Jay, I wanted to suggest that you add "WSL2" into your comments above at around 50:00 min. into your video for all those using WSL2 under Windows 10/11. Just like the Bastion devices you mentioned, WSL2 will not be running ssh-agent and trying to connect to a server using Key Authentication will fail; even though the correct Public Key is on the server and correct Private Key under WSL2. But doing the: eval "$(ssh-agent)" command, and then: ssh-add ~/.ssh/, does make it possible to connect to the desired linux server! Yay!

    Thank you for this, Jay. I really appreciated your additional info such as the troubleshooting steps and watching the appropriate logs. I would have also appreciated a backup/restore section for the ssh keys. While it's as simple as backing up and restoring the appropriate private/public key pairs, I'd have appreciated having that step included.

    A small additional detail to your explanation of journalctl. Journalctl uses the "less" command to pipe out the entries. You have all the features you would normally have such as using the forward slash "/" to begin a search. That also means that you can use shift-f to start following the log. Use CTRL-C to stop following.

    Made the mistake of deleting /etc/ssh in the server. In it were a few keys I thought belonged to the client. I figured "let's start fresh" pfff! Fortunately I made a copy of the sshd_config.
    Anyways, later I learned to regenerate the server keys with /usr/bin/ssh-keygen -A
    I ended up having a better understanding of ssh key relationships.
    Great video btw.

    Great video thank you. Followed your instructions with my Synology NAS that wouldn't let me in via ssh without giving a password every time as I wanted to do. The -v on the ssh command helped me see that it was a permission issue for the directory and subsequent 'authorised keys' file. So after changing permissions, well deleting and setting up per your faultless instructions. Bingo -it all now works. Especially liked the 'config' file entry -helps a lot for simplicity. Thanks again. Just bought your new server book too. Cheers, ATB.
