So there is something wrong with your install. The authorized_keys file does not get created.

Try this:

• /etc/rc.conf_mount_rw
• then create the file manually with e.g. vi /root/.ssh/authorized_keys and paste in your key
• /etc/rc.conf_mount_ro

Then check again…

vi/root/.ssh/authorized_keys: Command not found.

here is a screen shot via winscp….

[jlepthien]

vi and a [space] after that…

@kapara:

here is a screen shot via winscp….

So? That is /etc/ssh and on your box…
You generated the key on your windows system, didn't you?
The keys need to be in /root/.ssh/

[kapara]

Still no go.  Where can I find that file I created?  I can log in even though the data shows as there in advanced.

[kapara]

Found it in Winscp

[jlepthien]

Yep. So it should be there via ssh, too. If it still does not work I have no idea left what could be wrong.

[kapara]

I will reboot

Working. :-) Thanks

[jlepthien]

Glad it is working now ;-)
