ssh-copy-id checklist for why it does not work
-
25-09-2022 6:55pm
Having previously worked for me, I cant quite get passwordless to work on our machines. Assuming that it is a server side issue as i can ssh-copy-id to a seperate server in a seperate location
Here is my output
$ ssh -vvv [email protected]

You're running openssh 9.0 which has disabled SHA-1 signatures for RSA keys and a few other less secure settings as well as turning off DSA by default.
The server is running OpenSSH_6.6.1 so you'll need to find something they can both agree on.
Your end on 9.0 is denying the use of the DSA key, not the remote server end.

You should create a new key just for this connection - maybe try an ecdsa one to make both sides happy.
ssh-keygen -t ecdsa
You can even use it just for this connection by setting a stanza in ~/.ssh/.config like below.
Once that's in place (and the permissions are right) you can connect by typing just ssh server
=============================================
Host server
HostName server.us.company.com
IdentityFile ~/.ssh/id_ecdsa
Port 22
User root
============================================
If ecdsa doesn't work, try re-enabling DSA as an offered option on your end if you're in a hurry.
Otherwise try various keytypes from man ssh-keygen until you find something mutually agreeable.
PS: This should also get you thinking about why the other end isn't updated to something more recent and why you're logging in as 'root'!
