Lab 5.2. Make OpenSSH Client Configuration Changes | LFS211

Hi there,

I'm doing the lab from the subject line on this post but when I do ssh garply and input the root password, I get Permission denied, please try again, even though I'm putting the correct root password.

I found this possible solution on this post but after doing all the steps (without any errors), I still get the permission denied issue:

[student@main ~]$ sudo su -c 'cat /home/carlos/.ssh/authorized_keys >> /root/.ssh/authorized_keys '
[student@main ~]$ sudo chown root.root /root/.ssh/authorized_keys
[student@main ~]$ sudo chmod 600 /root/.ssh/authorized_keys
[student@main ~]$ ssh garply

I have to mention that I had to create an authorized_keys file and move id-rsa.pub to it (I'm mentioning it since it wasn't on the instructions nor an authorized_keys files was created when generating the SSH keys).

This is my $HOME/.ssh/config file:

host garply
hostname localhost
user root

host *
ForwardX11 yes

This is the output of ls -l $HOME/.ssh/config:

rw------- 1 carlos carlos 64 ene 11 10:57 /home/carlos/.ssh/config

And PermitRootLogin is set to yes on `/etc/ssh/sshd_config

Any help would be very much appreciated!

Cheers.
