I am trying to setup passwordless login using SSH key in Raspbmc and is not working. Following are the things that I have tried so far.
- I copied the ssh key using
ssh-copy-id
command. - The permission to
~/.ssh
,authorized_keys
and public/private keys are correct in the local machine as well as Raspbmc - I am not seeing anything in the authlog (snipped attached below)
- I tried various levels of verbose
-v
to-vvvv
but nothing shows up. (snippet attached below)
