| Code: | buffer_get: trying to get more bytes 4 than in buffer 0

ive tried editing/moving authorized_keys but that didnt fix it
Anyone know what to delete/change to make it work?

Have you been copy & pasting your keys in to the ~/.ssh/authorized_keys file?
Check that the public key is one continuous line and doesn't have a Carriage Return or Newline.
| Code: | $ cat ~/.ssh/authorized_keys
ssh-rsa AAAAB3NzaC1yc2EAAAABJQAAAIEAh84FnKDcTlRmC59iBpwdP7d22u6KoogBDIGYDx
Jo0LteQpo04uwPgJRHavSmzYqud9999BKkI68kN5ElNWbyi9D6HytNVZr7WCIUGMqH9G93dtLZYryK5cS
HwioXxQPjFh/1JUpInqTzbyDK3r46nLBWqlkBVGw73DxPpuaDPwkfkD3u8= ap-laptop
ssh-rsa AAAAB3NzaC1yc2EAAAABIwAAAIEAyLxflJ8/NFVvUxst95Zz2tA7ty9oysACrN1Do6wWsdqIp
tHep4iCcBL44RRTPCRMeLvKqK/xxegJYiezGOJ6zrUWXItqYpO29OVRjpVdRXudYkkrOwN3xL4D5cu5fB
IQE9vmNruDWvU/r96Eialws2ZyYGsrPn0CTGnawG4lhWMW6qhkM= apaton@gendesk
$ wc -l ~/.ssh/authorized_keys
3 /home/apaton/.ssh/authorized_keys
|
Note "wc -l" only reports three lines and not seven. (counts blank lines too)

ive tried generating a public /private key with putty(ver 0.58) on the windows machine , copied the public key to ~/.ssh/ directory, renamed it authorized_keys, deleted all the extraneous stuff and ensured the authorized_keys file was 1 line (with wc -l authorized_keys) and chmodded it to 600
with the RSA-1 option in putty
I get | Code: |
login as: paul
Sent username "paul"
Trying public key authentication.
No passphrase required.
Server refused our public key.
|
with SSH-2 RSA and SSH-2 DSA I get
| Code: | login as: paul
Sent username "paul"
Trying public key authentication.
Key is of wrong type (PuTTY SSH-2 private key) |
ive no idea whats going wrong
