I didn't know about the shell account. I was trying to connect to cvs.sourceforge.net. I've created my RSA keys and copied the public key to nebuladevice.sourceforge.net, but I'm still prompted for a password. I also tried putting my private key in id_rsa, but to no avail. ~/.ssh: ssh -v gudujarlson at nebuladevice.sourceforge.net OpenSSH_2.9.9p2, SSH protocols 1.5/2.0, OpenSSL 0x0090602f debug1: Seeding random number generator debug1: Rhosts Authentication disabled, originating port will not be trusted. debug1: restore_uid debug1: ssh_connect: getuid 500 geteuid 500 anon 1 debug1: Connecting to nebuladevice.sourceforge.net [216.136.171.201] port 22. debug1: temporarily_use_uid: 500/513 (e=500) debug1: restore_uid debug1: temporarily_use_uid: 500/513 (e=500) debug1: restore_uid debug1: Connection established. debug1: identity file /home/Administrator/.ssh/identity type 0 debug1: identity file /home/Administrator/.ssh/id_rsa type -1 debug1: identity file /home/Administrator/.ssh/id_dsa type -1 debug1: Remote protocol version 1.99, remote software version OpenSSH_2.9p2 debug1: match: OpenSSH_2.9p2 pat ^OpenSSH Enabling compatibility mode for protocol 2.0 debug1: Local version string SSH-2.0-OpenSSH_2.9.9p2 debug1: SSH2_MSG_KEXINIT sent debug1: SSH2_MSG_KEXINIT received debug1: kex: server->client aes128-cbc hmac-md5 none debug1: kex: client->server aes128-cbc hmac-md5 none debug1: SSH2_MSG_KEX_DH_GEX_REQUEST sent debug1: expecting SSH2_MSG_KEX_DH_GEX_GROUP debug1: dh_gen_key: priv key bits set: 128/256 debug1: bits set: 1009/2049 debug1: SSH2_MSG_KEX_DH_GEX_INIT sent debug1: expecting SSH2_MSG_KEX_DH_GEX_REPLY debug1: Host 'nebuladevice.sourceforge.net' is known and matches the DSA host key. debug1: Found key in /home/Administrator/.ssh/known_hosts:3 debug1: bits set: 1029/2049 debug1: ssh_dss_verify: signature correct debug1: kex_derive_keys debug1: newkeys: mode 1 debug1: SSH2_MSG_NEWKEYS sent debug1: waiting for SSH2_MSG_NEWKEYS debug1: newkeys: mode 0 debug1: SSH2_MSG_NEWKEYS received debug1: done: ssh_kex2. debug1: send SSH2_MSG_SERVICE_REQUEST debug1: service_accept: ssh-userauth debug1: got SSH2_MSG_SERVICE_ACCEPT debug1: authentications that can continue: publickey,password,keyboard-interactive debug1: next auth method to try is publickey debug1: try privkey: /home/Administrator/.ssh/id_rsa debug1: try privkey: /home/Administrator/.ssh/id_dsa debug1: next auth method to try is keyboard-interactive debug1: authentications that can continue: publickey,password,keyboard-interactive debug1: next auth method to try is password gudujarlson at nebuladevice.sourceforge.net's password:
