ssh passwordless connection problem

[mrk_1]

Hi,
I changed the permission as you mentioned.

-rwx------ 1 user1 users 394 Jan 23 19:18 authorized_keys

But, Still its asking password.

How do I change the HOME directory permission, If its required to change.

Thanks.

where is the .ssh directory located? in /users/user1/admin??? if so, you need to lock that down. in addition the permissions on the "authorized_keys" file needs to be set.

the permissions need to be set up such that no one other that the owner can remove/replace the keys. as noted before, this is all explained in other posts here.

Thank you very much for all your help.
Finally issue is resolved.
I changed the permission of the user home directory.
The home directory of local and remote host must be same. I found this one of other thread of this forum.
So, I changed the permission of the home directory and its working fine now.

But it should be done by root user i think.i tried this in root user only. As the normal user cant change their own home directory permission.

Can any one confirm me that is it correct.

Thanks,
Ram

Typically the user owns his own home directory so he can change its permissions.
