Not sure why this is failing.

 

I currently have my authorized_keys file stored at

/boot/config/ssh/authorized keys

 

My go file has a line which runs a script

#persist the Authorized Keys

/boot/config/ssh/setup_ssh_client.sh

 The setup_ssh_client.sh script does:

#!/bin/bash
mkdir /root/.ssh
chmod 700 /root/.ssh
cp /boot/config/ssh/authorized_keys /root/.ssh/authorized_keys
chmod 600 /root/.ssh/authorized_keys

But even after manually putting the file in that location and then restarting the SSH Daemon, still getting public key error.

 

o_O Am i just having one of those days and it's blatantly obvious?

 

tried generating a new key pair but that didn't work

Solved

change:

/boot/config/ssh/setup_ssh_client.sh

to

bash /boot/config/ssh/setup_ssh_client.sh

 

ta! that might fix the automation piece - but still spinning as to why after manually putting the file in the correct location it's still failing

See release notes, it's because of improved security, scripts can no longer be executed directly from the flash drive.

Thanks @johnnie.black, I think the script is a red herring here so lets leave it to one side. 

 

I manually add my public key to the

/root/.ssh/authorized_keys

I should be able to SSH in using Public Key Auth but it fails.

Can't undestand it :/

Seems like the permissions for the /root/.ssh folder now require 755 as opposed to 700

 

So to resolve this, wherever your script is running:

chmod 755 /root/.ssh

All working now

Also thanks for this! Was getting permission denied in the User Scripts plugin and this change allowed the script to run
