SSH Server refused our key
I got the following error when logging in to a server using SSH key authentication.
Server refused our key
I checked the log file
tail /var/log/secure
found following error
May 11 17:45:31 server58 sshd[18483]: Authentication refused: bad ownership or modes for file /home/video/.ssh/authorized_keys
The problem is fixed by setting proper permission for the .ssh folder and key file.
chmod 600 ~/.ssh chmod 600 ~/.ssh/authorized_keys
