Ssh Public Key Authentication + User Root + 5500
« on: May 18, 2005, 05:17:03 am »
Hi all.

I have installed openssh on my 5500 and I'd like to access without password (i.e. using public key authentication) using the user root.
I added my desktop pc user's public keys to the authorized_keys file on my Z, but I'm always asked for a password when I try to log in.
However, I can log succesfully from Z in my desktop pc using public key authentication.
The sshd_config files in Desktop PC and Z are almost identical.
Does anyone succeeded in doing this?
Is this issue related to the non-standard root's home (/home/root) in the 5500 models?

Thanks in advance.

Check that the Zaurus sshd_config have these settings:

Code: [Select]
PasswordAuthentication no  
PermitRootLogin yes
PubkeyAuthentication yes

Where is this config file located?
