Has the passwordless login stopped working for anyone else? The pagent is up and active, I've not modified the server but verified that the key is in place and that the permissions are 700 for .ssh and 600 authorised_keys but it fails.

Any clues?

you also need to do

chmod go-w ~

ie, remove write privilete for group and other users, on your homedir.


Okay, it works again now.


Can't connect (or ever ping) abc.dreamhost.com. WTF?

Passwordless login - script

I wrote simple bash script which does everything what is needed to login without pass. Hope you'll find it usefull: [1] --Ludwikc 15:10, 9 April 2007 (PDT)

Sudo to nobody

Is there any way to sudo -u nobody ? I've got some permission problems to debug where a routine is being called as another user (apache) and I want to confirm that suid is working correctly.

You'll have a much better chance getting an answer to your questions by using the DreamHost Discussion Forums than you will by leaving a question here. These talk pages are designed to be used for discussing the article itself, not general tech support about the subject. BTW, the answer to your question is "no" (and it is right there in the article. See section SSH#.5BUser.5D_is_not_in_the_sudoers_group.
There are other ways to approach your debugging, and users in the Forum are likely to be able to help you . -- Rlparker 19:35, 19 October 2007 (PDT)

The Public Library blocks port 22

From the public library one wishes to connect, but they have blocked port 22 outbound. All one can do is stare at PuTTY's port number entry box wondering what number to now type in if any.

In desperation he goes to a "web cafe", but is told all one can do is play video games.

Mention if the user is "sh*t out of luck" or not please. Jidanni 13:24, 23 December 2007 (PST)
