"Image verification could not be verified due to server issues. Please try again later." The issue I have, hope somebody can help me, is with ssh security keys, no matter if I use RSA or DSA keys with or without passwords, I still have to login with a password to my FreeBSD server. It is between a Linux server(Client server) and my FreeBSD server. My setups are as follows: >From client server: Linux nagios-server 2.6.23-hardened-r4 #1 SMP OpenSSH_4.7p1, OpenSSL 0.9.8g 19 Oct 2007 To FreeBSD server: FreeBSD secure-server 6.1-RELEASE-p17 FreeBSD 6.1-RELEASE-p17 #0: Fri May 25 19:54:30 IST 2007 root@secure-server:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/SECURESRV-SMP i386 OpenSSH_4.2p1 FreeBSD-20050903, OpenSSL 0.9.7e-p1 25 Oct 2004 In my "/etc/rc.conf": sshd_enable="NO" sshd2_enable="YES" I have tried the public key in various directories, in the users home directory, ie. .ssh/authorized_keys .ssh/authorized_keys2 .ssh2/authorized_keys .ssh2/authorized_keys2 Permissions are set to 700 for the .ssh(2) directories and 600 for the authorized_keys(2) files. User and group access are also correct, and connection from the client machine is also with the correct user. If I change to the following in my "/etc/rc.conf" file: sshd_enable="YES" sshd2_enable="NO" Restart sshd, the keys work fine, no issues, I connect 100% without having to type any passwords. Thank you kindly CK
