Hello all,
I've finally figured out how to ssh into my NAS. I'mgetting really tired of putting my password in all the time so I figured how hard can keys be? For me pretty hard.
I followed this guide
http://technology.mattrude.com/2010/01/enable-ssh-no-password-authorization-with-freenas/
and checked it against this one
http://www.jonathanmoeller.com/screed/?p=3945
I failed.
heres what I do know:
My key is in a text document named authorized_keys in ~/.ssh on my NAS
I have pasted the private key into the proper box in ssh settings in the web gui.
what I don't know is:
where are my copies supposed to be on my client machine running linux mint?
I have a .ssh folder in my home directory and a ssh folder in my root directory.
Was I supposed to copy the part of the private key that contains
-----BEGIN DSA PRIVATE KEY-----
Proc-Type: xx,ENCRYPTED
DEK-Info: ***-***-***,*********************XX
AND -------------------------------end Private key----------------------
into the Host Private key box?
also when I copied from my public key to the authorized_keys file, was I supposed to copy everything or omit the "ssh-dss" on the first line?
I appreciate your help be cause Google has let me down and I can't seem to find anything here either.
