Trying to set up SSH keys between Mac OS and Unraid.  The intent is to log into Unraid from MacOS.

 

I followed a few different guides here but always get to the same result...the login fails and falls back to password.  I get this in the Unraid log: 

 

Dec 21 09:26:41 Tower  sshd[29312]: Connection from 192.168.1.14 port 53913 on 192.168.1.10 port 22 rdomain ""
Dec 21 09:26:41 Tower  sshd[29312]: Failed publickey for root from 192.168.1.14 port 53913 ssh2: ED25519 SHA256:<blah blah blah>
Dec 21 09:26:41 Tower  sshd[29312]: Postponed keyboard-interactive for root from 192.168.1.14 port 53913 ssh2 [preauth]
Dec 21 09:26:44 Tower  sshd[29312]: Connection closed by authenticating user root 192.168.1.14 port 53913 [preauth]

 

I have created ED25519 keys and used ssh-copy-id to copy them to the server, but I get this in the output there which seems different from others: 

 

Number of key(s) added:        1

 

Some people get 2 there, not sure if that's relevant.  

 

I have persisted the changes to the flash following another guide as well.

 

I have verified that the public key is showing correctly in my Root user settings in the GUI.  

 

What else can I try here?

Fix it.  I had to edit this file and manually add my public key:

 

/etc/ssh/root.pubkeys

 

Further to this, it did not persist after a reboot, so I saved a copy of the root.pubkeys file on the flash and added a command to the go file to copy it into the /etc/ssh/ folder on boot.
