Hi folks,
I've set up password-less login for
user1 on a Ubuntu machine to login automatically into a Fedora box using the publickey authentication method. Everything is working smoothly. Now, there is a
user2 on Fedora but he does
not have an account on Ubuntu. I tried to login as
user2 from Ubuntu to but got the following error :
Code:
user1@Ubuntu:~$ ssh user2@192.168.xxx.xxx
Permission denied (publickey,gssapi-with-mic).
user1@Ubuntu:~$
Predictably neither scp or sftp work either. I have several questions as a result.
1.Is the SSH server rejecting
user2 login because I am inadvertently using
user1 keys (as I am logged in as
user1) ?
2. Do I need to have a
user2 account on Ubuntu and public/private key authentication setup with Fedora for
user2 to be able to login ?
3. Is there a method I can use to password login as
user2 from Ubuntu to Fedora (even though there is no
user2 account on Ubuntu) AND still keep password-less login for
user1 or do I have to have password-less login for both ?
At present the only way to access the
user2 account from Ubuntu is to SSH using the
user1 account and then su to
user2.
Thanks
C
