Disabling SSH Root Access But Enabling SSH Keys How To Do That
in order to secure my server against instrusion, i disabled ssh root login and created a user for myself. however in order to access the user i need to enable SSH Password authentication I dont enable password authentication all the time and i keep it disabled unless i need to do something via ssh. Now my question will be, is there a way to keep the user i created and keep the root login disabled and password authentication disabled but use ssh keys for the user i created? I was informed that if i opt to login to ssh via the user i created, the only way to do that is to enable password authentication as it cannot work with ssh keys. is this true? I really hope someone can help me how to use the user i created together with ssh keys so i dont have to enable password authentication when loggin to ssh

SSH Keys
I'm having a problem with SSH keys (they don't work out of the box correct with cPanel) I bilieve the error is in my sshd_conf, but if someone could assist me with what settings that should be uncommented that would be helpful. Anyways, just some history of what I did so far: Generated a passphraseless key within Server(A1). Took the public key (not the private, left the privat on the server itself) and transferred it to a file authorized_keys on Server(B2). Chmod that file to 600. Then ran the following command: ssh -v -i /root/.ssh/authorized_keys -p 1234 root@xxx.i.p.xxx First I still get asked for a passphrase (which is wierd since it's suppose to be passphraseless), then when I just press enter (to signify that there is no passphrase), I get the following error: Permission denied (publickey,gssapi-with-mic).

Tutorial To Use SSH Keys Instead Of Password
A Short tutorial to use SSH keys instead of plain password to login. 1. Logon to WHM and goto Main >> Security >> Security Center 2. Under "SSH Password Auth Tweak" and disable the Password Authentication. 3. Under "Manage SSH Keys" click on Generate new key. 4. Give a Key name and Generate a good password (remember it). Choose KeyType as DSA since it's more secure than RSA. 5. Once done, you will see a pair of public private keys. Authorize the public key to connect. 6. View/Download the private key to your system. If you're using putty it can also generate in relevant format. 7. Save the key in a secure place in your local system and chmod to 600 so that no one can read it. 8. Next, connect to your server: Code: root@localhost ~]# ssh -i /path-to-file/file.key root@server.ip.address It should ask for the password, if you have used in step 4.

Struggling To Setup SCP Between To VPS's With SSH Keys
I had previously had this working. However, I changed the second VPS and now I can't remember how I set it up. I will call it SourceVPS and BackupVPS. I am trying to setup SSH keys to allow me to SCP backups from the sourceVPS to the backupVPS. The SCP command I am trying to run on the SourceVPS is: Code: scp -i /root/.ssh/VPS_root_access_key -pr /root/movetest.txt root@server.BackupVPS.com:/backup/ Previously, I had the SSH keys between the SourceVPS and BackupVPS so the above command would move a file from one to the other (instead of movetest.txt, that is normally the name of the backup file being moved). Can someone walk me through the steps for setting up the SSH keys? I am on Cpanel/WHM and Centos 4.6

RSync W/ Windows- With SSH Keys & BQBackup
TLDR version: when populating and attempting to write keys to authorized_keys I'm receiving the following error: Quote: Could not create directory '/home/Administrator/.ssh' Long version: I've been grinding my wheels with this for a long time now. Basically I'm attempting to get rsync set up to backup some data directories on my Windows 2k3 Server through a batch file with task scheduler to bqbackup. I've been back and forth with both Scott and Rsync.net's tech support about this issue - both of which have been great... but essentially keep hitting the same impasse with Scott appearing to have hung his hat stating he's not familiar enough with windows and rysnc.net telling me to wait for their GUI client that should be launching "soon." In the meantime I'm just running the backup manually until I can get this key issue figured out. Here's what's going on: I've been mainly using BQ's Guide and Rsync's Guide to try and accomplish this. After executing ssh-keygen -t rsa -N '' I receive the following message: Quote: Generating public/private rsa key pair. Enter file in which to save the key (/home/Administrator/.ssh/id_rsa): If I accept the default value it gives me I receive this error: Quote: Could not create directory '/home/Administrator/.ssh'. Open /home/Administrator/.ssh/id_rsa failed: Not a directory. Saving the key failed: /home/Administrator/.ssh/id_rsa. Now my thoughts were this was occurring because my %homepath% is actually: Quote: c:documents and settingsadministrator.DOMAIN (DOMAIN replacing actual text) I'm able to change the default path location and create the RSA file elsewhere using the cygdrive format... so when prompted for the path to save I instead input: Quote: /cydrive/c/docume~1/administrator.DOMAIN/ and am able to create the RSA file... so mission accomplished... so far, I believe I'm past this, the snafu is now occurring on writing these keys to the authorized_keys file on BQBackup... Quote: C:Program FilescwRsyncin>rsync -av "/cydrive/c/documents and settings/administrator.DOMAIN/.ssh/id_rsa.pub" <login>@<host>:.ssh/authorized_keys Could not create directory '/home/Administrator/.ssh'. The authenticity of host '<host> (<ip>)' can't be established. RSA key fingerprint is 18:02:d9:95:06:a9:70:74:86:b7:76:41:f6:71:a0:a4. (<login>@<host> replacing actual login & host... it's definitely connecting) That pesky '/home/Administrator/.ssh' pops up again. I'm not sure if that's what's causing the issue or not. I'm not even sure why the %homepath% for my administrator account on the server is set to administrator.DOMAIN, but AFAIK I can't log in to a local account on a Win2k3S box, correct? Now, you'll notice that the command I issued to upload the keys I got from the RSync.net instructions. BQ's instructions for step 3 are pretty foreign to me. I've gone further than this and attempted other things such as SSH'ing into my BQ server using putty and attempting to write the keys that way with no luck. I can't fully remember the errors I encountered doing so, though.

SSH Keys & Direct Root Login Disabled
Currently I have a server that has direct root SSH access disabled (have to login as regular user then su to root), but I am currently working on setting up authentication via SSH keys, but I can't seem to get it working with direct root SSH access disabled? Is this normal, and if so is there anyway to work around it? Basically I'd like to be able to authenticate both ways; both with SSH keys or by logging in as a regular user and su to root.

What Is SSH
When purchasing my web hosting service, the service provider asked if I need SSH or not. Since it's much more expensive to choose a service with SSH than not, I chose the one without. Can you help me understand what SSH is and whether I should buy it or not?

SSH
Yesterday, my host (Layered Technologies) preformed an OS reinstall on my server. Everything was fine, I could connect via SSH and began to install Apache, MySQL, etc. I then disconnected from SSH. When trying to connect later, I couldn't; SSH hasn't worked for me since. I've tried it from multiple computers, running XP and OS X, and even from multiple locations. I can, however, connect to the server via HTTP, and can ping it. The datacenter staff say they have no problem connecting via SSH; and cannot help since they are unable to reproduce the issue.

What's My SSH Port
i now have root access at a site i manage and the previous admin has set up a different SSH port. I think this because i get " Connection Refused " and that user has access for SSH. When restarting my SSH services i recive; Quote: sshd has failed, please contact the sysadmin. And from looking that error up it means the port has been changed. So i have WHMC access and all other root passwords etc, but how can i find out the port?

Mysqldump In Ssh
If a friend of your's asked you what they should type in SSH to make a backup of a MySQL database so they would have it to restore if anything were to happen to their server (drive failure, DB corruption, etc etc).. what would you tell them to type in? The reason I ask this is because doing my own research on the net on how to backup a mysql database in SSH has shown me there are 10 million ways of doing it, with all kinds of modifiers and so forth. Not having a good grasp on what these modifiers do, I am not sure what to use? For instance, here is what I have been using: mysqldump --opt -udb_username -p db_name > /home/username/thebackupfile.sql

When Log In Ssh
It keeps telling me the message below, even i used external ip (209.52.x.x instead of 10.10.0.130) Quote: mail:~ root# ssh -l admin 10.10.0.130 @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ @ WARNING: REMOTE HOST IDENTIFICATION HAS CHANGED! @ @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ IT IS POSSIBLE THAT SOMEONE IS DOING SOMETHING NASTY! Someone could be eavesdropping on you right now (man-in-the-middle attack)! It is also possible that the RSA host key has just been changed. The fingerprint for the RSA key sent by the remote host is ee:a8:ed:f5:fa:d9:0a:7d:ae:14:dd:e4:a9:d3:d7:c5. Please contact your system administrator. Add correct host key in /private/var/root/.ssh/known_hosts to get rid of this message. Offending key in /private/var/root/.ssh/known_hosts:14 RSA host key for 10.10.0.130 has changed and you have requested strict checking. Host key verification failed. should i remove the line (10.10.0.130 ....) in /private/var/root/.ssh/known_hosts? It let me log in ssh after i removed that line, but i am not sure if that is the issue for server.
