SSH Remote Access Authentication Tips

My friend was try to setup Linux SSH public key authentication without password and he’s keep getting password prompt. I will not going to go through how to setup SSH public key authentication here and I just would like to share few troubleshoot tips in order to fix the similar problem here:

1. Checking /var/log/messages file
Basically SSH hints are written to “/var/log/messages” file, you should be able to see any error messages here. For an example “Authentication refused: bad ownership or
modes for directory /root cannot set to 775“. Perhaps you’re require to change /root folder permission to make it work (may apply to other /home folder as well).
Type #chmod 755 /root or #chmod 700 /root can solve authentication problem.

2. Permissions
Please make sure you have correct file and folder permission as suggested below.

Your Password is Disclose

I was try one of the microblogging software with my friend for the past few days and we are noticed one of the features that automatically send notices to Twitter stored a plain text password in MySQL database. That’s mean if you’re using the similar web services, your Twitter password is actually disclose.

Remember if you’re using Meebo, Facebook, Friendster, Myspace or any other community site that require enter your email address and password, I think your password is
disclose. Said for an example Meebo, you can have single account register on Meebo that keep multiple IM account. I’m sure you already save your password in the database(no matter plain text or not, your password is disclosed). If you enter Gmail, Yahoo or MSN email address and password in Facebook looking for your friends in the contact list who use the same services, I think your password is disclose too. Perhap they claimed they won’t keep your password.

How about those ‘policy’ that protected privacy? What are they try to do with your email data. Sorry I don’t know.
