well I am confused about the keys and security. Ive tried searching for a answer, but I just wind up more confused
Anyhow, my linux box, called skyline, has ssh enabled and I also edited the sshd_config
# HostKeys for protocol version 2
HostKey /etc/ssh/ssh_host_rsa_key
HostKey /etc/ssh/ssh_host_dsa_key
HostKey /etc/ssh/ssh_host_ecdsa_key
HostKey /etc/ssh/ssh_host_ed25519_key
#Privilege Separation is turned on for security
UsePrivilegeSeparation yes
# Lifetime and size of ephemeral version 1 server key
KeyRegenerationInterval 3600
ServerKeyBits 1024
# Logging
SyslogFacility AUTH
LogLevel INFO
# Authentication:
LoginGraceTime 120
PermitRootLogin without-password
StrictModes yes
RSAAuthentication yes
PubkeyAuthentication yes
thats is my current config
anyhow, i am trying to ssh using putty from a windows machines and keeps saying "no supported authentication available server sent pub key" (keep in mind I also want to access skyline from multiple computers using key encryption
so what exactly am I supposed to do? do i create a key in linux and paste it to putty? Also, I want to be able to access skyline, my linux computer, from multiple computers, so how do I go about creating keys and where to place them? thank you!
I just get confused because there are multiple key folders like this
ssh_host_dsa_key........
ssh_host_dsa_key.pub..........
ssh_host_ecdsa_key.............
ssh_host_ecdsa_key.pub...........
ssh_host_ed25519_key..........
ssh_host_ed25519_key.pub...........
ssh_host_rsa_key.........
ssh_host_rsa_key.pub............
unclear which one has the correct key
