Hi,
I've just experienced a strange problem with OpenSSH. Scenario:
/etc/ssh/sshd_config: PermitRootLogin without-password
=> root login with ssh keys works, as expected.
I've created another user, uid 1000, on the same box, and copied root's
authorized_keys file over, adjusted ownership, permissions etc...=> SSH login (from the same remote user) does _NOT_ work.
I've added that user to the group 'wheel'
=> SSH login works
I've removed said user from the group 'wheel'
=> SSH login no longer works
In sshd(8), there is no mentioning of key login requiring wheel
membership.This is what a non-working login attempt looks like on the server
side. SSH asks for a password (this is locked):# /usr/sbin/sshd -u0 -d -e

Closing connection to 192.168.1.6Of course, when I'm in ~admin:
# ls -altR .ssh
total 12
-rw------- 1 admin admin 782 Sep 10 12:19 authorized_keys
drwx------ 2 admin admin 512 Sep 10 12:10 .
drwx------ 3 admin admin 512 Sep 10 12:09 ..I'd rather not be forced to add every user to the 'wheel' group, only
to permit key-based login.What gives?
Kind regards,
