February 6, 20233 yr I can't ssh into server 2 from server 1 using keys. Both are unraid systems. When I try to ssh from server 1 to server 2 is asks for a password. It works fine when I ssh into either server from my laptop using keys though. I generated my keys on server server 1 and placed the files in /root/.ssh/. I used ssh-copy-id to copy over the public key to server 2. I manually verified that they were indeed imported correctly on server 2 as well. not really sure how to trouble shoot this issue and looking for some guidance.
February 6, 20233 yr Author Does the key file need to have a specific naming convention? seems like its looking for id_[encryptionName] I'll generate new keys with this name and see if it works. Edit: Ya looks like that was the problem. The key files need to have a specific naming convention (the default naming convention). Thanks for the help! id_rsa id_ecdsa id_ecdsa_sk id_ed25519 id_ed25519_sk id_xmss id_dsa Edited February 6, 20233 yr by xxredxpandaxx
