driving me mental, remote login to pfsense CLI to shutdown
-
I think you should research how public key auths.. Yes there is part on the server that you saved on pfsense, but the client has to send the other part to actually auth.
Running this on linux you can call out in the path directly or the envirnoment of the user running ssh would have it in their path.. You can see when you ran the script where it looked for the key.. Place your private side there.
when you ran the cmd it was looking here for keys it could send
Trying private key: /var/lib/openhab2yeah when you created the keys, sure you saved it somewhere - but it has to be specified where it is and its name in the cmd you run, or the enviornment of the system needs to know where to find it, ie your /var/lib/openhab2 dir is where it was looking for the keys it could send because you didn't call it out in the cmd.
-i would call out path/file to use to auth with from the cmd line with ssh
-
@johnpoz OK, so i copied the key to that directory and the same issue persists.
-
And your sending the key - what does -vvv show you for the process
-
After the copy...

So how could you auth??

I copied as you mentioned, it shows id_rsa.pub under the folder it was looking for and theres a key in there.

Oh it did send something.

Give me a sec to digest
-
of course it didnt. You need to be a brain surgeon with a degree in rocket science to get this sh1t working. Seriously wheres the nearest cliff so I can throw myself and the machine off it!
-
No you don't need to be a brain surgeon... This pretty basic stuff ;)
RSA - yeah prob no longer even accepted.. that guide is from what 2015...
-
Well its taken me 12hrs and I cant get it working, so its not really basic at all.
Im outta ideas, thanks anyway john -
Public key auth is pretty freaking basic stuff.. But yes you have to understand how it works ;)
Just randomly following some guide from 4 years ago, prob going to have issues.
It doesn't like your OLD sha2 sig for one thing, and there were some known bugs with that for sure
https://bugzilla.mindrot.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2799I would create some current stuff, and redo it... You know say ed25519
If you want I have ubuntu could show you the commands to create current stuff ;)

@johnpoz Hello, i did exactly what you've posted. I copied the key to the folder as below:
sudo cp /home/nsautomate/.ssh/id_ed25519.pub /var/lib/openhab2 & to .ssh folderAnd updated the user in the Gui with the new key value.
Still doesnt work, wants a password

@automate said in driving me mental, remote login to pfsense CLI to shutdown:
/var/lib/openhab2/.ssh/id_ed25519
Looks like it doesnt like loading it from that directory

Load key "/var/lib/openhab2/.ssh/id_ed25519": Permission denied -
What are the permissions on the file? Why are you trying to use a different user and then another user to auth with?
-
The linux server has software on it called openhab. That software executes its scripts, or rules, using the openhab user. This is a home automation package.
So, the openhab user executes the command but logs in with 'nsautomate'
nsautomate@ihp:~$ sudo ls -la /var/lib/openhab2/.ssh/id_ed25519 -rw------- 1 root root 411 Aug 5 10:39 /var/lib/openhab2/.ssh/id_ed25519 nsautomate@ihp:~$ -
that seems pointless.. if the user account openhab is going to run the command, just create that user on pfsense and use it to auth with and run the halt cmd.
Only root can access that file, per the permissions on it.
-
Cool, that appears to have worked. However, its shut down pfsense but not powered off the unit, like it does if you select 'halt' from the GUI. I can still ping it but not SSH to it and its still forwarding packets despite a CLI message saying its being shut down??
Is there an alternate command that shuts the whole system down gracefully?
-
What kind of hardware?
You probably want
shutdown -p nowhttps://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=shutdown&manpath=FreeBSD+11.2-RELEASE
