Good Day,

Iam presently using fedora 8 64-bit which is provided by amazon.

I am usually able to ssh into my server using an ssh key and a username.

At this time...iam unable to ssh into the server. When i try, i get the error "Server Refused Our Key" The server is still up as i am still able to access my web applications.

Another wierd thing is that when i try to ssh into the server via ip directly (without using a ssh key) it prompts me for a username and password...


Any help would be greatly appreciated as i need to be able to ssh into my server.

Thanks in advance
Brian

check the ~/.ssh/authorized_keys file
Make sure that the proper key is used and has the proper format
ssh-rsa <weirdCryptoChars> hostname

If that dosn't help check for access rights of ~/.ssh
should be 600

If it still doesn't work, remove key from ~/.ssh/authorized_keys and create a new one.

thanks for the response....the issue is that iam unable to access my server...its an amazon cloud server. hence the main access is through ssh...so iam unable to even check /ssh directory

Your answer is here. Read it and act on it.
